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

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.
