RIP (Remove it Permanently) will remove that. I use it along with Adblock plus to handle things just like this. But most the time I just ignor those empty boxes.. at least it's not some flashy ad. But this extension works well for this type of thing.

Right click on the box, RIP advanced/Remove from similar pages.. Now I haven't tried it so I'm not sure how good it will work, but that is the purpose of that item.

I don't use that extension so I don't know exactly where the setting is, but I would think there is a setting for that somewhere in that extension. Here Is a place to look and if nothing is about it, you can post a question. The maker is there and can help you out. The link is pointed to the beginning of the thread.

i didnt find anywhere that said anything about having the middle click tab open in background rather than in focus.

Then did you post a question there? He's good to help people out as you can see by the thread.
