Middle button in Firefox acts weird
Currently it takes me to random sites. It'll take me to the same site every time for a given page, but it's not a page that's linked to from the given page.
Last page (forum view) took me to howstuffworks.com. Seems completely random. It's taking me to some weird sites I've never seen before... |
OK, if I highlight some text it seems to do a Google "I'm feeling lucky" on that text, but when nothing is copied it still takes me to weird sites, and was doing so before I copied text. Just takes me weird places depending on what page I'm on it seems.

Whoa...that's a cool feature. Didn't know about that one. Anyway, I tested it a bit and it seems like it'll take you to whatever is currently stored in the clipboard (is that a proper *nix term?)....so maybe you had copied or highlighted some text prior to clicking, and you ended up with a search for whatever is in memory.

That's what I thought, but it seemed to change at random without me selecting any text.
Anyway, doesn't do it now. I installed some extensions and now my mouse button works properly (makes the circle with the arrows appear for scrolling). I think it was Tabbrowser Extensions that did it. Or maby the All-in-one mouse gestures. That would make more sense. |
same thing happens to me, and it sucks cuz i'm used to use it to scroll in windows - i really hat e it when i accidently click it when I'm reading something LOL

Try installing the All-in-one mouse gestures extension.
