User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Steps to reproduce: Our systems (Linux - Debian Stretch) used the "Tab Mix Plus" extension in Firefox. Then version 60 of Firefox ESR arrived from the Debian repository and broken compatibility with the "Tab Mix Plus" extension. This caused (among many other things) the mouse middle/wheel click on the tabbar to no longer do "Undo close tab". Actual results: In Firefox the mouse middle/wheel click on the tabbar no longer does "Undo close tab". This caused me to resort to UserChrome hacking to enable the mentioned "Tab Mix Plus" functionality. Expected results: Firefox should make it at least optionally possible for a user to perform "Undo close tab" by mouse middle/wheel click on the tabbar (at least a hidden about:config option would be nice).
Technically a duplicate of bug 347209, but since that was filed back in 2006, maybe the request would be reconsidered.
