"browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" reports True, and tabs work fine
otherwise.  Using Logitech USB optical scroll wheel mouse, middle-clicking has
no effect.  Middle-click works in other applications (e.g. Safari), just not
Firefox.

Contact me if you need further info about the OS setup, hardware, etc.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to web page with a hypertext link, e.g. http://www.yahoo.com/
2. Middle-click any link
3. ???
4. Profit

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the link in a new tab.  Cmd-click does open the link in a
new tab, and you can right-click/ctrl-click and select "Open in new tab" in the
menu.  But I'm used to three-button mice, since I work primarily in Linux.
