Just to add to this. In Firefox, it worked in the past, I sort of found it annoying when I would accidentally middle click and off it went. It no longer works now. It does however work in Seamonkey. It worked in the past as well. I did upgrade Firefox as well as a small number of KDE packages the other day, Monday USA time. Dale :-) :-)
