This has been going on since the second day I ever used FireFox. I _love_ FireFox, but I cannot get the Middle-Mouse Click to open links in a new window! I have no idea why! It worked on day one, but not after theat… and I’ve since tried reinstalling to 0.9.3, uninstalling/reinstalling extensions, etc, but nothing works! Any ideas? ---

Set to "universal scroll" I’ve tried having it as “AutoScroll”, and simply “Middle CLick”, to no avail… ---

Try removing C:\Documents and Settings<username\>\Application Data\Phoenix(it might also be firefox, I believe it changed recently) If that doesn’t fix it, try installing Tabbrowser Extensions. That gives you loads of other options related to windows and tabs. ---
