Mystery solved, and resolved. Thanks! You have just earned a lifetime subscription to Kestrel's Aerie! :D I'm too worn out to rant about updates that don't tell you about major functional changes. I'll have to reconsider whether I want to continue using rude plugins such as Better GReader. @Bryan:

I’m too worn out to rant about updates that don’t tell you about major functional changes. I’ll have to reconsider whether I want to continue using rude plugins such as Better GReader.

Having this enabled a left click causes Google Reader to show the preview of the posting within Reader. Having that option disabled, a left click will automatically launch the post in a new tab. Check out your firefox addons or greasemonkey user scripts to disable that piece.

If they changed that, they would be sabotaging FeedBurner's "Reach" stat. Google owns FeedBurner now, so I doubt they'd do that. :-) I doubt that the clickthroughs don’t count for stats.

See, I just came here by the mechanism you just described as "google reader no longer does". Your message came in feed, I opened it (and didn't get the pretty graphics), I clicked on the title so I could drop to comments and post this. Settings, maybe? Well, I’m getting something different.
