On X11 systems, pressing the middle mouse button in a Window has three
functions in Firefox: On a hyperlink, the hyperlink is opened in a new
window/tab.  On an input control, the X selection (= clipboard) is
pasted into the control.  On some unused space of the window, the X
selection is entered into the location bar.  It's easy to trigger the
third action accidentally when you click on the wrong part of the
window.
