Suddenly, Firefox (3.6.10 on Kubuntu) changed the behavior of the middle mouse button.

Before, pressing the middle mouse button on the regular window (not tab bar or tool bar or such) and not on a link caused Firefox to open a new tab and to attempt to load the content of the buffer as URL.

Now, Firefox shows a weird circle with arrows and my page scrolls vertically in a weird way.

How to get back the original behavior?

I tried to find a solution on the web. Despite the many suggestions, the problem prevailed. For example, browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and middlemouse.contentLoadURL are both true

You can disable Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"

Thanks.

Now it opens the link in the current tab. Much better but not optimal, as it should be a new one. But I will see if there is another option for this.

Very glad to see I am not alone. Alas....that answer did nothing on my system. I also am very very frustrated that, all of a sudden, my middle mouse button brings up a weird four pointed arrow! (see pic) I NEED it to open links in tabs for researching!!

I turned off auto scrolling in the advanced settings. Restarted FF even...and nada.

I have disabled every single add on I had (only like 6 of them)...and nothing.

This happened all the sudden...I dont even know of an update. FF v3.6.10

PS... I am running Windows 7.

PSS...I always used to get a scroll arrow when middle-mouse-button on open space in the web browser. While still opening the link when clicking on a link. To be clear though: it was a two pointed arrow, softer tone, more polished. It scrolled up and down....now I used that. I just dont want to loose one good feature for no reason.

Could this be a java thing?

Did you check the mouse wheel button settings in your mouse driver software?
