How to change mouse button events

Currently basic usage needs a mouse with 3 buttons (sic). Opening a new website with clicking link in bookmarks opens new website in same tab. I want to open a new website in a new tab by using the left mouse button by itself. Currently one must hold the CNTL+left mouse button to achieve this. Where is the ability to change this situation held?

This seems to do what I want. Thanks muchly.

Too bad this was not in the basic Firefox, with ways to customize as well.
