If this is a features, open the web page on another tab (click with the scroll button is by default assigned to open on a new tab

Else, allow an action with the scroll button only if the mouse's cursor is under a link
Anael -> Thanks for the report. This sounds like a feature of a mouse driver/software package. Do you have one installed? Can you check its settings?

Hi Tim,

I haven't any specific package installed on my debian 6.0.3.
I use a generic mouse (dell) plugged on USB.

The bug doesn't reproduce on Epiphany (default browser for the distro).

Tests are made on another computer, with Windows 7 32 bits and the version 8 of Firefox. Same results.
And with a third computer under Ubuntu 11.10 and FF8. The url was pasted on the url bar of the tab.

Really strange behavior...
Hi Anael, Just to be clear, I select the link and do a ctrl+C and then (not on the link) click on the scroll button of my mouse. Is that correct? If so, then this doesn't work for me.

openSUSE 12.1, using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0a1) Gecko/20120215 Firefox/13.0a1.

Situation 1: i did copied the link with the mouse in the clipboard and pressing the scroll button it opens the link in to another tab. 

Situation 2: i just selected the link and pressed the scroll button and the same thing happens.

I have no special add-ons installed and i don`t have any customized settings under Firefox. I use a standart PS-2 mouse with 3 buttons.
The bug doesn't appears on Firefox 14 (nightly) on ubuntu.
I should try on the debian installation which have the problem.
See the workaround in bug 366945.
