Firefox and middle click

Post Reply New Topic

Hey all,
I am most certain this is easily answered, but i just cant seem to find the solution anywhere.
When browsing I almost always look at a site and open any interesting links in a new background tab, this involves right clicking and then "open in new tab".

I want to be able to click my middle mouse button (scroll wheel) and have it open the link in a new tab. I have found extensions that do pretty much everything, but dont allow for changing the behavior the way I want.

am I blind?

Thanks!

middle clicking opens new links in new tabs. its in the preferences

Ok scratch that. Thanks for your reply, it prompted me to check into something.

My mouse was configured wrong, so firefox didnt see the middle click I guess. Now it works, thanks!
