User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 2015122500

Steps to reproduce:

Whenever using the middle click button anywhere on the page, firefox will redirect to a non related website.
Where it happens? Where to redirect? Can you reproduce it with Firefox safemode?

This is how Unix works. A workaround is available in bug 366945.

It happens anywhere, and where it redirects changes. It happens in safemode.
Status: RESOLVED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: DUPLICATE → ---
Try the middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false in about:config.
Flags: needinfo?(illumilor.e)
OS: Unspecified → Linux
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64
That seems to fix it. Shouldn't that be set to false by default? It seems like a bug that it is enabled.
Flags: needinfo?(illumilor.e)
So, it is a dupe of bug 366945. The workaround is available in the Whiteboard of bug 366945.


Remember, don't easily change the status when provide more information, if it don't alter this conclusion.

Irrelevant. I talk about you who reopened this report in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1239180#c3 for no reason. Your strong language ("WTF") is unneeded here.
