No middle-click navigation

Hi, it has been a while that one of the updates on firefox removed the ability to navigate using the middle click, i waited and waited for some day an update drop and fix that but it's been a while and nothing has come, i was sure to test this on another computer and it didn't worked as well so i'm pretty sure firefox has some problems, i mainly use a drawing tablet because i don't have a mouse, so navigating is a bit hard without the usual middle click nagivation(i'm not sure if there is an actual name to that), please help

Autoscrolling?

Have to make sure “Use autoscrolling” is enabled in the Settings in Firefox.

Can you clarify what you mean with middle-click navigation ? What are you trying to accomplish with this middle-click ? Does holding Ctrl and left-clicking work?

Is the other computer also a tablet or does that device has a mouse attached?
