User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1 Final

Middle click problem, middle click over an link to scroll the webpage opens 
more unwanted tabs.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one webpage with many links on that page
2. Middle click ahead of one link to scroll on that page and it opens that tab 
with that link when you just wana make a scroll.

Actual Results:  
it opens tabs when you just wana make a scroll.


Expected Results:  
Middleclick should have only one function to open new tabs or to make a scroll, 
not the both of them. I just wana make scroll with middle click not open tabs.

With IE this issue does'nt happen

1) plse don't mark bugs WONTFIX unless you are the component owner or someone in
a similar high position
2) plse don't mark bugs without cc'ng yourself to the bug
3) plse don't mark bugs without commenting on why you are marking the bugs so.

In about:config set browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick=false
