Firefox + Wheel Mouseclick


Heya guys, something weird is happening when i use the scroll wheel to click anywhere on the page, it opens to a page called "www.sloan.org"

Just from clicking with the wheel after i changed the mouse from "PS/2" to "ImPS/2" to fix the scroll.

also if i click the wheel over any input in aclickable textbox in any program it types a letter "P"

anyone know whats up with that? o_O

If you click the wheel in a "useless" area of a page in Firefox, it pastes into the address bar and submits it. So probably you had earlier highlighted the name "sloan" somewhere, and it's using address completion on it.

your right! thanks.

turns that thing where it types 'p", just entering "P" in firefox brings up that site, must be a built in shortcut to it, it one for like each letter.
