To fix the middleclick problem in your profile, you should go to about:config in Firefox and change the setting: middlemouse.contentLoadURL to true.
Quite a painful bug indeed. Because this behaviour is something that can generally expected from a browser (and also works fine in every other browser I tried in Ubuntu). It gives Firefox a bad mark in Ubuntu. I know that bugs shouldn't be filled with notes such as these, but I feel this could hurt Firefox unfairly when compared to the other browsers Ubuntu offers, because for users it may not be clear from first sight it's a really a mistake and not actually intended. -- Firefox deletes the clipboard on startup; middle-click paste also broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
