Is there anyway to make Firefox not opening a new tab when...

[vtqanh]

... I accidentally press the scrolling button (the little wheel between the left and right button) over a link. When I used that to scroll and wanted to stop, I had to press it and if it happened to be on top of a link, it will open a new tab, which is very annoying

Thanks

type about:config in your address bar and do a search for middle

there were four different options for the middle button, i tried all and none of them stopped the opening new tab

Firefox doesn't respect those preferences. This program does.

edit: I filed a Firefox bug requesting your desired functionality, but there's a good chance it won't be fixed.

I know in mozilla there's a checkbox to turn it off under "tabbed browsing" to turn off middle click off tab
