I retested but was not able to reproduce this. Although double clicking on the tab strip and on the bottom line of the tab opened a new tab. Are you using any extensions that which could influence this behaviour? 
Testing in safe-mode could make this clear within a few seconds:

oh, sorry! Tab mix plus, last dev version, work with FF 3.0 final.
i will check, if i find a option do enable/disable it -> also to check, this is a feature of a extension.

i can't find it an option. :-(

@Marc:
i have reading in the tab mix plus forum, this is an feature.

have you tab mix plus installed? if yes, u think this is not a bug.

Comment 10

[Marc]

No. I have not and will not install Tab Mix Plus.
I hope there will be an option to disable the middle click. I know there is an addon for it.
