    Firefox middle click

    On my work machine, I have a standard 2 button optical logitech mouse with a scroll wheel.

    When I middle click on a link to open it in a new tab in Firefox, it seems to work sometimes, and not work others.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    CTRL+CLICK doesn't work either...

      Have you checked your extensions? Maybe one is breaking the middle click behaviour.

        Hmm, seems like FLST (Focus Last Selected Tab) may have been the culprit. I guess time will tell.

          Disabling extension and testing might tell sooner.

            I did, but the problem was intermittent, so I can't say that it was the culprit with 100% certainty.

              Lets hope that FLST is the culprit .

                How old is the mouse, I had a similar thing happen on wireless intelli mouse that had done a lot of miles, once I sprayed it out with conatct cleaner it was like new, eg middle button worked with a nice click again, before that I was rearranging the reciever every 5 mnutes to "improve the reception"..duh

                  Mouse is about two years old.
                  But the fact that CTRL+CLICK (which does the same thing) didn't work either, leads me to believe that it had nothing to do with the mouse.
