Ok I just installed Firefox 4 final release, fresh and whenever I middle click on a tab, all the tabs close immediately. If I turn on the message box asking me to "close all tabs?" the box pops up when I middle click on it. I had this same problem on RC1 and RC2, even with tab-mix plus installed I couldn't control the behaviour of middle click on a tab. I have tried this on RC1 and RC2 clean install and with tab mix plus but whatever I do firefox tries to close all the other tabs when I middle click on one.

I have Firefox running on a XP system but I havent faced any issue on that. The system that has problems is the one with Windows 7 and I may have to mention this, Logitech's Set point software to configure the different buttons on the wireless mouse. I have check the configuration in the software and Middle Click is set to Middle click. This configuration was working fine on the same system when I was running firefox 3.6.* and started when I upgraded to FF4.

I use a laptop wit Win 7 and only meet this problem if the FF is in full screen mode, and because of it the tabs are in the header - in line with the Firefox button. If I change to windowed mode the tabs goes on row lower and middle click works as it should. I use the software "SecondShell" to remap the caps lock into middle button - if I "click" with it the FF works fine, just the mouse cause the problem.
