Middle click on tabs with Firefox/Linux
I've installed the Tabbed Browsing extensions on Firefox 1.0 (final) on Fedora Core 2 & for some reason I can't configure it to close a tab when I middle-click on that tab, that options is greyed out for some reason.
The middle mouse button works as I can use it to open links in a new tan without problems but I would like to close these tabs when I middle click them. Right I have to double click a tab to close & it's not as comfortable. ![]() ![]() I've looked at the known problems list for that extension ( Tabbrowser Extension but it's nowhere to be seen (I've sent the programmer a link to this thread btw). Any ideas ? |

I found a page on the mozilla support site saying :
"A Middle-click on a tab closes it on Windows by default. However, in Linux it pastes whatever is currently in the Clipboard and visits that site (or performs a search). This can be changed by setting the middlemouse.contentLoadURL pref to either true (for the Content Load URL feature) or false (for closing the tab)." |

Thanks for the info, going to try this right away.
![]() It seems it has changed a bit with the latest Firefox versions. I had to set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false to get it to work. Thanks again. |
