FIREFOX Help: Middle Click Issue - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

RAGEAngel9 · 11-16-2004, 06:00 PM

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with Firefox.
I had it set so middle-clicking on a link opened a new tab.
After a recent reset of WinXP, it now tries to zoom the page instead.
I can't seem to find any setting that deals with this issue.
I have the following extensions right now:
All-in-1 Gestures
AdBlock
BugMeNot
Calendar
FoxyTunes
fireftp
MAgPie
Sage
ImageZoomer
DL Manager Tweak
IEView
BBCode
Allow Right-Click
Tabbrowser Extensions
Bookmarks Synch
Nuke ANything
WeatherFox
DownThemAll
Single Window
GMail Notifier

And it the pre-release.

Any ideas?

Wow, lots of extensions... although some of those ext's may not work, try upgrading to the 1.0 release.

First, yes, be sure to be using the latest release. Secondly, Firefox is extensible, but DAMN that's a lot of extensions. You need to keep in mind that extensions are not "official" options to Firefox. They don't necessarily all work well together, or work together at all for that matter.

Yeah I know I have alot of extensions. I was just trying out anything that looked interesting. I was waiting until my finals are doen this wee to upgrade to 1.0. I just thoguht it was wierd because this happened on 2 computers.
Thanks anyway.

So this is happening on two seperate computers? Do they both have the same version of Firefox and all the extensions?

RAGEAngel9 · 11-17-2004, 05:12 AM

Yup.
I figured it was some setting I just couldn't find.

Well I'd be willing to bet it's related to an extension or extensions you have. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

Sounds like All-in-1 Gestures to me.

Quote:

"Zoom In Image/Text", "Zoom Out Image/Text" and "Reset Image/Text Size"

These functions are a merge of Text Size and Image Size functions. If the gesture is started over an image, the image function is executed; otherwise the text function is executed.

They are the default functions for scrollwheel gestures.

Disable that one, and see if the problem goes away. Also, make sure you have the most recent version of it.
