FIREFOX 43.0.4 MIDDLE CLICK BUG

[zak16]

Ive tried to disable Middle click(scroll button) to prevent open new tabs and windows without luck.
Used this:
about:config
middlemouse.openNewWindow False

also with Safe mode on, all extensions disabled and scroll button still opening new firefox windows so annoying.

Did you check Windows Control Panel Mouse settings. Its possible that the behavior is set/controlled by the OS and can be changed there.

Firefox 44.0 has been the current since Tuesday Jan 26.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/middlemouse.openNewWindow
"This preference determines whether to open a new window for URLs opened by a middle click in the content area. It has no effect if middlemouse.contentLoadURL is false."

Updated my FF to 44.0 bug still persists:

middlemouse.contentLoadURL True
browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick False
middlemouse.openNewWindow False

scroll button keeps opening links in new windows.

Is there a way to prevent Middle click to open new windows and tabs?

It is not an AND, it is an OR.

You can set middle-click to either open a new window OR a new tab.

There is no setting (that I am aware of) to disable middle-click, if that is what you are looking for?
Perhaps through mouse software or Keyconfig (or not)?
