Mouse Wheel

[josegotme]

Clicking mouse wheel does not open in new tab but, Ctrl+left click does.

Do you have mouse software from the manufacturer installed?

The mouse option includes only scrolling capabilities.

The mouse option includes only scrolling capabilities.

What mouse are you using ? Wheel options are in the windows/mouse setup options. No way that I know of to force a mid-click from Firefox.

I downloaded their software for the M310 Logictech mouse but, it would not run on my Win 7 computer. I created a case at the Logictech site and they should
be looking into it. Their software has a wheel option control that would solve the problem.

Just what does it do?

(I have not used "mouse software" for ages, & clicking the mouse wheel has opened a new tab, for ages, for me.)

Any number of "mouse" Preferences.
No idea about what any of them do, so as a test, create a new, clean Profile & see what happens in there.

If you don't have Logitech software, or possibly some other mouse program, installed then I don't think the default Windows 7 drivers do anything for a wheel click.

Mouse wheel scrolls. Click does nothing. However, I am having a problem with their software that is causing the problem. I hope to get a fix from them?

What happens in Safe Mode, don't a number of extensions change mouse behavior ?

I'm not quite following the implications of... Implement auxclick, http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3026069.

The original poster is using Firefox 51.

The auxclick feature is implemented in Firefox 53.

I don't know if it is a good idea to send the auxclick event and the click event when using the middle click button. I know I had to fix a userscript for Chrome 55 because the click event is not triggered for a middle click. Now I have to fix it again for Firefox 53.
