Play around with middle mouse button in Firefox
The middle mouse button has some special features that we may not know, or being disabled by default. Now, i would like to introduce some cool tips to use your middle mouse button in Firefox.
There are few settings that you can make through about:config (type about:config in the address bar and hit enter):
- middlemouse.contentLoadURL - If you set this to true, when you click the middle mouse button, Firefox will load the clipboard content as a URL. For Linux, this setting is true by default, but seems like doesn’t work for Windows.
- middlemouse.openNewWindow - By default, this is set to true, which will open a new tab when you middle click on a URL.
- middlemouse.paste - By default, this is set to false. If you set to true, click the middle button will paste your clipboard content to the text box.
Beside this, you can also close any tab page by use the middle mouse button.
