Open Links With a Double Click. [Linux.]

Post by leegold »

Hi,

Using FF ESR on Linux. Hyper links ie. links are activated with a single click. Edge scrolling with a touchpad I have to watch my technique else I'll get taken to another web page I don't necessarily want. Is there a way to change opening links to a double click? Changing this in my OS settings does not affect FF itself.

Thank you,

Some touchpad are very sensitive with linux, even with the "tapfinger" desactivated (on my laptop acer aspire one) if my finger is near the right click on the touchpad (sometime) it's open a new page (or folder) .

Hi,
Just a thought, coz I currently don't have my laptop to check.... but can you change the touch pads "Sensitivity?"
