Or it's more a feature request.... or whatever. read the explaination:
use the undoclose function on middle click on the tab bar. by default, undoclosetabs is activeded by middleclicking on the close tab button on the right of the toolbar => 2 tabs (re-)open
so, the bug is, that the close button and the tabbar are 2 areas but one is not in the front of the other - both react on a click
and the feature request is: make it possibile to define which function to use on middle click and so on on the close button
What version of undoclosetab do you use? The version I use (20040910, from dorando) does not have the option to reopen a tab on middle clicking on the close tab button. But you are right that this extension should make a distinction between the tabbar and the close tab button.
I like your request to define functions for clicking on the close tab button: I will see what I can do
i use the same version as you do (at least it has got the same date)?!
That's odd, i didn't change anything with it (maybe it's caused by another extension?)
Well. I think the tab bar and the close button are more or less the same, so to say, i think it's a bug of firefox, not your extension. I'd do it with a check or a if-else, that should solve the problem (but i'm not very good at js and the vars used in firefox.
this is even more odd: i don't find any option in uct which could cause the function on middleclicking to activate. There's one if-part, but it checks for eventbutton=1, afaik the eventbutton for the middle mouse button is 4. That's odd....

No, actually the middle mouse button is defined as button 1 (left:0, right:2), maybe you downloaded one of the repackaged versions from extensionsmirror?
But anyway it isn't important. I'll fix this as soon as possible.
oh.. ok... then i've got the code, I'm quite sure this is the right one, I can post the code if you need it, or you can look it up yourself, the code isn't long; and you, having more experience than me in writing extensions, you should have no problems.
@repack: yep, sounds logical. I always use em for a new install because updatemoz lacks a good search engine and is not always up to date. As undoclosetab is standard, i probably installed it form there.

I was wrong: Undo Close Tab from dorando has the possibility to reopen a tab on middlelicking the close tab button. But the bug with the close tab button is fixed now!

I don't want to disappoint you, but I think this function to move a page to the sidebar must be implemented by another extension. If that extension is created I would be glad to add an option to Tab Clicking Options to assign a clicking event to that function.
Cut and Paste from an older post of mine:-
I have a request for this extension. One thing that really annoys me - In ff when you LEFT double click on empty area on the tab bar, it opens a new tab. But it also does this same thing if you MIDDLE double click and RIGHT double click the area. Is there any way to disable the middle double click and right double click? It becomes annoying because you use the middle button to close tabs and undo closed tabs and sometimes i click it twice and it opens a new tab. I think one of the old miniT versions disabled this, not sure though. Right now im using the latest modified minit with all the preference settings by Sboulema(sp?). Is there an existing extension that disables this? Maybe its a feature you can add to this extension. Thanks

On a newly firefox 1.0 install with new profile middle double click / left double click has no effect
This install with TCO middle double click / left double click still has no effect (middle double click only if you have set a function to middle clicking: that function is called twice)
This means that either you are not using firefox 1.0, or you have an extension installed that enables double clicking with the right or middle mouse button on the tabbar. I recently noticed that TabBrowser Preferences is such an extension, but there may be more extensions which have the same effect.
If you find an extension that enables this, please, notify the author of that extension.
ah ok thanks twano. I actually posted that to TheOneKea and he reffered me to you but apparently its tbp that causes it. so back to TheOneKEA
Thanks for looking into this cause its quite annoying.
UPDATE: it seems to be fixed in the updated tbp 1.0
This extension will also work on Mozilla Suite now.
Now also supports opening of new tabs or duplicated tabs next to the current tab (or tab clicked on) when tablib is installed.
Tablib is also being installed as part of miniT or miniT (drag).
When Click2Tab 0.8.x is installed an option will be added to assign a clicking event to the reopening of the last closed tab, much like UndoCloseTab.
Added it-IT, fr-FR, nl-NL locales
Better integration with TBP (version 1.2.x)
using a french version of FF 1.0 without language extension.
Option "open tab" or "close tab" are displayed in french but the purpose of the options ("on a tab" + "on the tabbar") are no more displayed, english or french.
and when i choose "OK" or "cancel" the options windows do not close, I must click on the upper right cross.
And of course, options are not defined

My mistake , I forgot to change some entity names in the french locale. An update will follow soon.
