Hi all,
    Yesterday afternoon, and for the last ??? years, I could be using Firefox, within KDE and with a Logitech M560[1] mouse, middle click on a link and a new tab would open containing the link.

    I did an "emerge world", which included some KDE stuff, but not Firefox, last night and this morning, this functionality is now gone. Has anyone else got this problem or come across it being mentioning in their wanderings of the web?

     Any thoughts greatly appreciated,

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.
