When i am trying to click on scroll mouse middle button. It is opening new Tab. As per the existing solutions i modified browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick value to false.

After changing browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick value to false. IT is opening as new window. Check the event.which and used event.preventdefault/stopPropagation still it is opening new tab/window

Changed middlemouse.openNewWindow to false. Still no use.. Looking for the solution to avoid tabs on on mouse scroll click.

Thanks in Advance, Regards, Suresh
