Disabling Annoying Middle-Mouse Click Function in Firefox

July 12th, 2009

Starting today, I’ve had enough with accidentally missing my middle clicks on links and ending up having a (seemingly) random page pop. I should have looked at this a long time ago, but now is a good a time as any. By going into about:config and changing “middlemouse.contentLoadURL” from “true” to “false” I am now rid of this annoyance.
