firefox and the scroll-wheel [Solved]

Post by Mario&Luigi »

Dearest Mint-users,

Newbie in Mint (Helena) country, and a happy one.
Except for one little thing...
I have a question about Firefox (and to a lesser extent opera) and the scroll-wheel on my mouse.
I am used that on clicking a link with my scroll-wheel it opens the link in a new tab; and it does that.
But when I accidentally click it on an empty space it either gives my an error-message (something like cannot go to URL, bad URL), or it goes to a website I visited before, or it goes to some website witch I don't know and don't want to know.
I never noticed this behavior when using Ubuntu. Is there an explanation why it does this and can I stop it?

I think my google-powers are very weak this day, can't seem to find an answer.

With kind regards
And thanks in advance

M&L

Edit: Google-powers seems to work again today.
Just had to change:
middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false
and
middlemouse.paste to false

:D
