We single click links just like we single click buttons. Form buttons on a browser should behave like regular buttons in the operating system: single click.
Clicking an item in a list should select the item. Double clicking an item in a list should open it. This is the part that might be broken in the web browser because I see check boxes and all sorts of other UI gymnastics to enable the functionality of how a list works in file browsers, and email.
There are a few other UI things in the web browser that I think are slightly broken. These UI things are a legacy from the original web browser. For example check boxes and radio buttons separate the text from the check/radio box, but I think you should be able to click on the text to toggle the box -- yes, I know there are work-around using JavaScript, but basic UI should be consistent.
