Fix my 'fox
Jun 21 2005
Somehow I’ve managed to lose the ‘open in new tab’ middle-click functionality from Firefox. Middle-clicking now does the same thing as Alt+Tab, and cycles through the open applications.
Can anyone shed any light on what might have happened, and more importantly how to fix it?

- Have you installed any new extensions ? Try disabling them working backwards from the most recently installed.

- Have you checked out about:config?
If you don’t know this one, type “about:config” (without the qoutes) in your address bar and hit enter. Now look for the parameter
browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick
Toggle this one to true. - #4

- Davy: I didn’t know about that one, but it was already set to true anyway. :(

- Yeah, probably – trouble is I haven’t got the original device drivers for my mouse any more.

It sounds like something else is grabbing hte event and using it as some sort of “hotkey” functionality?
Have you updated your mouse driver recently? More probable is the fact that Windows may have updated your mouse driver through Windows update as they do sometimes.
Good luck, that must be annoying…
