Here are my observations - they don't appear to match up with yours. I've now tested on: * 32-bit Win7 Firefox 4.0 beta9 * 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Firefox 3.6.13 * 64-bit Ubuntu Chromium 8.0.552.224
I've only had issues with Firefox on Ubuntu. It only affects links (menus or links on page) on the jijx page. Menu links and links on the page on other JHS pages (e.g. help, jal, jfile etc) all respond as expected to middle-click. Only middle-clicking on a link gives no response. Left- & right-clicking work as expected. Seems to be an odd one!
