Not that I was ware of, heh...
Changed the setting anyway to close the tabs.
edit: never mind. I checked MozillaZine's knowledge base and discovered the about:config option. It and others can easily be found by filtering for 'middle', yay!
This is sidestepping the question, but middle-clicking to load the copied URL is actually a very useful feature. You can double-click instead of middle-clicking to open a new tab, anyway.
