[Bug 353318] Re: Middle mouse button invokes 'invalid URL'

[Micah Gersten]

This seems to be by design.  We'll wait to see what upstream does.  I'm
waiting to figure out which upstream bug is correct.

WORKAROUND (from upstream):
go to about:config and set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false

** Description changed:

+ LATEST RELEASE TESTED:
+ Firefox 3.5

+ WORKAROUND (from upstream):

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.1
  
  (Jaunty) Sometimes when just pressing the middle mouse button in
  Shiretoko 3.1 Beta 3 (Firefox 3.5), an alert prompt comes up. This
  happens when you don't click a link or anything, just some white area.
  The strange thing: it doesn't happen always, but it does a lot.
