Can you test a build/profile without MultiZilla?

Update multizilla (new version released few weeks ago) or just try to reproduce
with clean profile. 
WFM with WXP 1.7.11 clean profile and with multizilla.

Following suggestion from [e-mail], I uninstalled MultiZilla
(1.8.0.1h) and that restores Middle-Click functionality so it looks like the
issue is with MultiZilla, NOT Mozilla. Sorry, didn't think to check. 
Tried the latest update/release of MultiZilla (1.8.1.0a) but that still doesn't
work...

Nothing in the Mozilla code itself was broken or fixed.
