The defaults are indeed "false" for those two preference variables. When I request about:config and filter on "middlemouse", those two (plus middlemouse.scrollbarPosition) not only show as "false"; they are also NOT bold. They would be bold if they had non-default values. Furthermore, right-clicking on them gives me a pull-down context menu with Reset disabled because they are already reset. Only middlemouse.openNewWindow is "true", per my settings at [Edit > Preferences]. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off.
