User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 This may be a dup (I didn't see it in the list, but that doesn't mean it's not there), but the middle mouse button does not seem to work on OS X as it does on other platforms. On Linux and Windows, when I click on a link with the middle mouse button, I get that link opened in a new tab. On OS X nothing happens (CMD-RTCLK does work, however). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Firefox on OS X 2. Middle-click on a link Actual Results: Nothing happened. Expected Results: I expected that it would have behaved like other platforms and opened a link in a new tab. FYI, I have tried this exclusively with Logitech mice. I have not tried other mice, but I do know that my middle mouse button is generating events because it works in other applications.
