opening firefox links with scroll button click

[ScreamingJesus]

Well just got a new pc, and I'm trying to configure everything like I used to have it..and one thing I can't get is opening links in firefox. On the old PC, if I clicked a link with the scroll button it opened it in a new tab..I know I did this by editing something, because I made extra options appear in the options thingy..anyway, I have no idea what I did!And I have no idea where I foud out how to do it, so I figuered I'd post here.

So does anyone know how I can get links to open in a new tab when clicked with the scroll button(right now nothing happens at all)

Thanks.

for all I knew it was default that way 😕

It is the default behavior. Are you sure you have the proper drivers installed for your mouse? Are you sure the scroll wheel button works for anything at all?

It's a damn mouse setting with certain mice.

Try changing the settings for the middle click till it works again.

Works for me and I didn't know you could do that.

MX310 and my the drivers are installed..when I go to change settings (in mouseware) button 3 is set as universal scroll, what should I change it to?..and I know it's not default(maybe for just this mouse) because I know I had to do something to make it that way on the old comp..problem is I don't remember what 😛

In Firefox, you go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Tabbed Browsing.

Edit: I guess they've changed it since Mozilla. If that's the case, middle clicking a new tab should be the default.

I just re-installed my drivers (mx700) and I lost my middle button-tab thingy AND my REAL autoscroll too!. I know its a config thing you access through your browser, but can't find the exact instructions. We need help!
