Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Middleclick in Firefox 3.0 is left at the default, which is to paste.
This means that a middleclick not on a button or a link (i.e., on some
blank area) will cause whatever is in the clipboard to be opened as if
it were a link. If the contents of the clipboard are not a URL, then a
popup appears with
"The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"
which is very odd to someone not expecting it. If the clipboard happens
to contain something similar to a URL, it will be opened in a new tab,
which is also potentially very confusing.
To change this, the option "middlemouse.paste" should be False (that
would be my recommendation).
** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
