111148 - disable middle click paste [option/by default]

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57317

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Marko Macek]

There should be an option to disable the middle click paste. 

It often happens to me that I want to middle click on a link to open a new
window and I just miss it (maybe I have a wheel mouse and cause a scroll
instead) and then it goes to some garbage url which I did not intend to paste.

I bet I am not alone in this.

There's a hidden pref to do it.  Add this into your prefs.js:

user_pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", false);

Also have a look at bug 85677 which will probably help too.
