Open Tabs with Middle Mouse Button in Linux FF

Hey all, the issue I'm seeing is this:

I can open and close tabs, on Windows Firefox, with the wheel (middle button) on the mouse.

Once I go back over to Linux Firefox (v3/4 both) (Fedora 12/13) I can't get it to work. I've even seen forum posts elsewhere where some people are even having trouble with the newest Fedora 14.

The mouse is a Logitech RX300; a simple 3-button mouse where the middle button is the scroll wheel. I've seen forum posts about this mouse specifically - but in relation to Windows problems.

I'd very much like to find out what the root of this problem is and how to fix it.

If that is too slippery, even a suggestion of a known-good working mouse of the same type would be helpful. If the answer is to get away from the one I have then I might just.

If anyone can lend some insights my sanity would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

TT

And, wouldn't you know it, an hour after posting I found the simple solution...

Someone suggested that the Logitech RX300 mouse had a problem with mapping the middle (wheel) mouse button - try another one.

I tried 4 various mice - they all worked. The Logitech RX30x mice needs some adjustments.
