About once a month or so, an upgrade (including the upgrade from natty to oneiric) switches Ubuntu Firefox Modifications back on in my add-ons list, and I have to disable it again and reset middlemouse.contentLoadURL to true.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 794716] Re: middlemouse.contentLoadURL resets to false
Workaround: The real package responsible for this is "xul-ext-ubufox", the direct descendant of "ubufox", the Ubuntu Firefox modifications. This is responsible for adding extensions via apt and many other ubutifications of Firefox. It can be safely removed. But in case you prefer to keep it: The file /usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/ubuntu-mods.js is the one that keeps that particular preference. In xul-ext-ubufox 0.9.1-0ubuntu0 from Natty is in line 18, where it forcibly resets middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false. So i just commented that line out and added one that set it to true: pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", true); Restart firefox and Bingo! it works again. I'm looking for the preference that requires pasted links to be complete URLs with "http://"; and all, which wasn't needed before, if you pasted something it tried it's best to load it, but until then this is at least something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794716 Title: middlemouse.contentLoadURL resets to false Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Every time I start Firefox 4, it resets the value of middlemouse.contentLoadURL, so I have to open about:config and manually change it for every session.
