My extra mouse button no longer opens tabs in a new window

I have a Logitech Marble Mouse. It has two extra buttons. I use one for "back" and the other is set to "auto-scroll". For as long as I can remember when I clicked on a link with the "auto-scroll" button the link would open in a new window. Since I updated to Firefox 6.0.2 this behavior has changed. Nothing happens now when I click on a link with the "auto-scroll" button.

Apparently there is an Incompatibility or Conflict Bug between Greasemonkey 0.9.10 and Tab Mix Plus.
An update to Greasemonkey 0.9.11 should fix it

  • Firefox will not open tabs in a new window

    When I right click a tab, and select the option "Open in a new window", Firefox does not respond.
    I can add as many tabs as I like, but can not open them in a new window.
    I can also right click a link and open it in a new tab, but Firefox does not do anything when I try to open the link in a new window.
    I reinstalled Firefox on my computer, and also updated Java and it did not solve the problem.
    This started happening about a week ago for no apparent reason.

    First check to see if an add-on is causing this problem, for details on how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    If that does not help, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in the profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows]. If the new profile works, you can transfer select data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. DO not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install add-ons. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile].

  • Middle mouse button does not open links in a new tab.

    If your only solution is to tell me to:
    1.Restart my computer
    2.Start Firefox in safemode
    3.Use another hotkey to open a new tab that's not middle mouse button.
    Then don't even bother replying. As I've done the first two and it made no difference and 3rd option is a solution at all.
    This is frustrating and I'm slightly upset that after reading 20+ Pages of the same problem dating back from 2011 that there are no answers.
    I am on a fresh install Windows XP (Yes I know old school) with firefox version 27.0.1.

    Cor-El I have done all of those as everyone else suggested on all of the other forums.
    I plugged my mouse into another computer and it worked fine. So that lets me know its either something fishy with firefox or my computer.
    As I was writing this I found out what my problem was. However I'm unsure of why. I'll explain here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
    If I Middle click + Hold click for a solid second on the link it will open a new tab.
    It just seems like there is a massive delay in my middle mouse click speed on this system.
    Either way I'll investigate this further on my own. I appreciate all of your time.

  • Middle mouse button does not open tab with new url

    Suddenly, Firefox (3.6.10 on Kubuntu) changed the behavior of the middle mouse button.
    Before, pressing the middle mouse button on the regular window (not tab bar or tool bar or such) and not on a link caused Firefox to open a new tab and to attempt to load the content of the buffer as URL.
    Now, Firefox shows a weird circle with arrows and my page scrolls vertically in a weird way.
    How to get back the original behavior?
    I tried to find a solution on the web. Despite the many suggestions, the problem prevailed. For example, browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and middlemouse.contentLoadURL are both true

    Very glad to see I am not alone. Alas....that answer did nothing on my system. I also am very very frustrated that, all of a sudden, my middle mouse button brings up a weird four pointed arrow! (see pic) I NEED it to open links in tabs for researching!!
    I turned off auto scrolling in the advanced settings. Restarted FF even...and nada.
    I have disabled every single add on I had (only like 6 of them)...and nothing.
    This happened all the sudden...I dont even know of an update. FF v3.6.10

  • Safari 5 issue with opening tabs in a new window

    Hi all,
    As we all know, the easiest way to open a tab in a separate window is to drag it out of the tab bar and release the mouse button to let it appear as a window. I used to do that a lot and I never had a problem until I upgraded to the latest version of Safari 5. Since then, whenever I do so and release the mouse button, the tab sticks to the pointer for a few seconds and then it automatically turns into a window but with a distorted outlook, which only gets fine if I minimise and maximise the window again. I even screen captured this problem. You can watch it here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPdlQMzGVNQ
    Do you guys have any idea what is causing this problem? Is anyone else having the same experience?
    Cheers to all...

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari. If Safari functions as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash.
    If that didn't help, in a Finder window select your home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
    Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • New Window from "FILE- NEW-WINDOW" duplicates all the currently open tabs in the new window. I want new window with just the "Home" tab please?

    Running Firefox 3.6.13 on 64Bit Win7.
    I like to group tabs on a topic in a window, and when the tabs get to be too many, or a new topic, I do FILE->NEW-WINDOW and expect a new window with just one default (Home) tab. Instead I get a new window with ALL the tabs of the first window.
    I have checked all the Options I could find. Nothing helped. I CAN make a new Window with just one tab if I right-click a link and say "Open in NEW Window".

    A new window should only open with the home page(s).<br />
    If you see differently then you need to check your extensions.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Clicking on mouse wheel no longer opens links in a new tab after upgrading to 8.0.1, how can I fix that?

    I've searched high and low for the answer to this, tried updating my mouse drivers, installed Tab Mix Plus, some greasemonkey scripts, and STILL can't get my mouse wheel to open new links with a click. Any help would be great

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. Any help?

    Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?

    Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    Does that help?

  • Can't get extra mouse buttons to do anything

    When I first used my macbook air with my logitech usb mouse, the computer asked me what the uses of the two buttons on the side were. I can't remember what I did, but whatever it was it must have been wrong. I assumed I would be able to change that later if I actually needed them. Now, I need the use of the buttons, but whenever I open a program to bind keys, pressing either of the buttons results in the same input as if I'd pressed the middle click - rendering them both useless. I trawled through system preferences but can't find where to separate the buttons or even if that's what I need to do. Help?

    System preferences, Mouse for the main settings.  As far as the other buttons, there is usually a configuration program provided by the mouse manufacturer. 
    If you go to mission control, you can also select extra mouse buttons to open spaces, expose, etc.

  • All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole newFirefox window. How can I fix this?

    All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole new Firefox window. How can I fix this?
    Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

  • Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

    When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

    You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.
