Many Firefox Addons & Tweaks can reconfigure keyboard & mouse bindings.
This makes it is quite easy to confuse and override the default linux or
window-manager mouse/keyboard behavior.

Hi Ioannis,
There are two different things going on.
The first is probably very familiar to most long term linux users.
And that is the quick cut and past you can do with a mouse.
On Linux there is often no need to do "highlight with mouse" ->
"Ctrl-c" -> "Click where you want to paste" -> "Ctrl-v".
You can use the mouse shortcut which is "Highlight with mouse" ->
"Click middle mouse button on the spot where you want it pasted"
The wheel on wheel mice acts as the third button. Clicking both the
left and right button at the same time also acts as the third button.
Once you get used to this functionality, you really find it hard going
back to a windows box that doesn't have it.
*note* There are some applications where this doesn't work. But it
does work in the majority of applications.
The second feature you are seeing is a feature in firefox. It has
alot of shortcuts. One of those shortcuts is a 'goto' feature.
Basically highlight some works, and middle click. It will perform a
'goto' search in google, and take you to that site.
A real time saver. A real pain. You choose.
I'm not certain which parameter it is, so I don't know how to turn it
off.

While I was looking at web page with Firefox 1.5.0.10. I just got to
a google page saying: Your search - "Goto first unread ocd * 123don't
know how to get better" - did not match any documents. In the address
bar there is: "keyword:Goto first unread ocd * 123don't know how to
get better".
Wondering how did I get there I thought that I was using the mouse
wheel which is also a button (two normal buttons and the mouse wheel
in the middle, also being a button). I repressed this middle
mouse-wheel button, and got to a site
http://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.html
and after repressing it to a site
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/forcesofnature/
!!!
I checked some sub-sentences of this text, in the page I was viewing
but came with nothing.
Now I am pressing the middle button in this Thunderbird 1.5.0.10
message and I get:
gotgotgotgotgotgotgotgotgotgotgotgotgotgot
Previously I had pressed it in here, and if I recall well I got
another URL!
In gedit, I pressed the middle button for few times, some minutes
before and got:
forcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.htmlforcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.htmlforcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.htmlforcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.htmlforcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.htmlforcesofnature/070302_precip_mysteries.html
!!
Now pressing the middle button in gedit gives nothing!
Now pressing the middle button in this Thunderbird plain-text message
moves the cursor where the mouse pointer is.
What is going on?! Any ideas?
