2. Try to use middlemouse to load a URL into a new tab. Try to close a tab with middlemouse.
3. Fail. 
Actual Results:  
Nothing. 

Expected Results:  
Load URL. Close tab. Middlemouse should work. It's useful.

please try safe-mode / new profile and if it still fails, try a different mouse(driver) to exclude mouse problems.
