Disabling middle-click to reopen tabs

When I middle click on a non-link area of a page, it reopens the most recently closed tab over the page I'm currently viewing. Is there any way to disable this? It gets annoying if I miss as I'm trying to open a link in a new tab, and instead have to navigate back to the pages I actually want to see.

Try to set the middlemouse.contentLoadURL pref to false on the about:config page.

Why didn't I think to look through about:config? To be honest, though, I'm not sure I would have connected that particular property with this problem. Thanks!
