Tabbed browser extension bug with middle-click

[joha]

Middle-click on empty space opens a new tab with the clipboard content as the location.
Can anyone else reproduce?
I'm using Phoenix 0.5 on linux rh 7.3 with KDE.
I don't think that this happens on Win2000, but I'll check tomorrow.
I'll list my prefs later Now I gotta go .

This isn't a bug with TBE, it's a feature of Moz/Phoenix on Unix.

Funny that I haven't noticed before, though I've been using mozilla since M15.
Can this feature can be turned off?

Don't know, because it's there since a long time (IIRC Netscape 4.x also had this). I also don't know if it can be turned off, and re-reading your first post there might indeed be some strange interaction with TBE, because the feature's intended to open the URL in the clipboard in the same window/tab.

No there isn't, I misreported, it opens in the same tab.

btw, I tried with 4.79, but the feature wasn't there.

This might be the pref, though I'm not sure and I can't test it right now:

user_pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", false);

thanks, works like magic
