Upgraded to FF7 from FF3. I no longer get highlighted links when using middle click. Usually if I used middle click on my mouse, that link would be highlighted(was a dot bracket thing), which would show me what I just clicked. Now if I'm going through links using middle click to open links into new tabs, I get lost and have no recollection of what I just clicked.


Thanks.

Do all browser.display.focus* prefs on the about:config page still have the default value?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history

  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
