I like the current behavior, though I mostly use Konqueror so I can't tell if it's for some reason a big usability issue in Iceweasel (Firefox); in Konqueror I haven't perceived it as a problem and use the feature frequently.
ok, i tried out the middle-click in konqueror, and i agree, it does work very well. when the clipboard text is a valid url, konqueror takes the user to that url. however, if the clipboard text is empty or contains non-url text, then it does not do anything. if firefox behaved this way, i would be very happy. my primary issue with the functionality is what happens with non-url text. so, my request is that iceweasel not do anything for a middle-click with non-url text on the clipboard, and conversely to load the url if the clipboard text contains a valid url. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
