Unable to open new tab with center click after updating to Firefox 4

I'm running Windows XP on a Sony Vaio Laptop. Before updating to Firefox 4.0, I was able to open new tabs by center clicking on a link (both buttons at same time, or the equivalent to clicking the click wheel on a mouse). Since updating to Firefox 4, I've been unable to easily open tabs this way. Instead scroll arrows show up, then I center click again and they go away, and then on the third center click I'm finally able to open the link in a new tab.

The same thing also happens when trying to close a tab with center clicking, where the scroll arrows show up, then go away, then finally closing the tab.

Make sure that you click the link properly.

You can disable auto-scrolling to prevent that from happening.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"

Just tried that. It didn't make a difference, I still have the same problem with both links and closing tabs.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I'm now in Firefox Safe Mode, and there is no change to the problem.

You can check the settings in Control Panel > Mouse and make sure that the middle mouse button is set to default

I shut my computer down, and the next it's suddenly working ok, so it might have been something else related to my computer.

The problem reappears when I have Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat open at the same time.
