Any thoughts greatly appreciated, Andrew [1] https://tinyurl.com/u9vxqdy Well it appears it's the kernel Boot into my environment with the 5.4.14 kernel, bring up FF and then happily go "middle button clicking" on links. Tabs with the appropriate links start popping up everywhere, as expected. Shutdown then restart using the 5.5.0 kernel and try "middle button clicking" and it fails. I'll have to do some more checking but it looks like that is the problem. Andrew

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 :-) :-)
