possible useful firefox tip

bluedishwasher · 08-28-2007, 06:12 PM

just found this out, this might be of help to some of you, if you want to open something in a new tab like an item on a web page or something, if you click it with the middle mouse button (the scroll wheel) then it does it for you, rather than right clicking and selecting open in new tab. only just found this out, maybe it will help some of you, or maybe ive been missing something really obvious all along

Probably if you have a non generic mouse it might not work, as you have to install drivers for it that take preference over the standard shortcuts?
