This is Nightly 20140327030203 on Linux. I middle-clicked a URL into a window today expecting it to load the URL but instead ended up with some kind of scrolling interface. On about:blank it works as expected but on any page with content already loaded I end up with the scrolling. This kind of seems like bug 64577 but I've been pasting these for years and never run into it, so I'm filing a new bug. Perhaps related to bug 938359? I'll CC a couple folks on that bug in case. Thanks.
Huh, so this reminds me of bug 984037, but that's meant to be fixed as of 1.5 weeks ago, so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Can you check the pref is set correctly? :-\

general.autoScroll is false. I haven't changed any prefs or anything, this just started happening recently-ish (my last nightly was probably a few weeks old). Let me know if I can help with anything.

I saw you said that bug was 1.5 weeks ago so I pulled in the latest nightly and tried this again and can no longer reproduce. I think this bug is a dupe and I just was on a nightly that was a bit too old.
I'll mark it as a dupe. Thanks.
