Disable "back" command for mousebutton 3, "the wheel"-click.

For as long as I can remember the mousebutton 3 on my Logitech MX518 has had the following function:
1) When pressing on a non-link item, nothing happens
2) When pressing on a link; that link opens in a new tab.
Sometime in the last 6 months new behaviour was introduced as follows:
1) When pressing on a non-link item, the "back" command is executed.
2) When pressing on a link; that link opens in a new tab.
The annoying part here is that if I miss-click a link, the current tab loads the last visited page which is sort of the opposite effect I want. I want to open a link in a new tab and still stay on the current page I'm reading.
So my questions:
1) Is this a feature of Firefox (or perhaps website specific behaviour?) and if so, when was it introduced?
2) Can I disable this feature, e.g. in about:config?

You may have a problem with the mousewheel.*.action prefs and Firefox thinks that you want to go back in the tab history.<br />
You can try to set them all to 0 or 1 to make the page scroll.

  • I just got iTunes 11.0. I'm used to being able to return to the beginning of a song by hitting 'enter'. What's the new command for skipping to the head of a song?

    I just got iTunes 11.0. From all the previous versions I'm used to being able to return to the beginning of a song by hitting 'enter'. What's the new command for skipping to the head of a song?

    Mmmmmm. Works OK for me. I've tried every variation I can think of. Play from playlist, play from library, shuffle on, shuffle off, single song repeat on/off, playlist repeat on/off.
    WAIT !!   Now I've found it  !!  It happens when I have the sidebar hidden and play a playlist from the PLAYLIST pane. Hitting Enter then takes me to the FIRST song in the playlist.
    WAIT AGAIN !!! In the time it took to write the above, it changed again and works properly. Well properly is not really true. It works if I stay in the PLAYLIST pane. If I switch to the SONGS, ALBUMS or ARTISTS pane, enter does nothing. BUT, if I switch to the GENRES pane, enter starts the first song there. AND, if I've switched away from the PLAYLIST pane and switch back, enter then starts the first song in the playlist.
    WOW !! That was a crazy ride. I think we can safely say that there is something awry.

  • Apple TV - i'd like to watch what i paused. The system says i have to go to itunes and 'check for downloads.' The wheel keeps spinning..... the system won't let me rent again.

    Apple TV - i'd like to watch what i paused. The system says i have to go to itunes and 'check for downloads.' The wheel keeps spinning..... the system won't let me rent again.

    Question is a bit unclear.  Once you start a rental, you have 24 hours to complete it. I pause mine all the time.  When I hit play again, I get a choice to either resume where I left off or start all over.  I believe it is necessary to have an internet connection while view ATV content, so if you lost the connection, that might make it "spin".
    Re your tag line "Can I view my ATV thru my iPad?"  If you have a wifi connection, you can view almost anything with AirPlay.  Or you can view anything from the various ATV selections without having your iPad on.  Of course, you have to pay for some options like HBO, Netflix, etc.

  • The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)

    Hi
    I just want to report this bug in hope it will be fixed asap
    The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)
    Thank you

    Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

  • Speakable Items - Back command for browser

    Apple speakable commands are fairly useful and can be used to open browser windows within Safari.
    Is there a way to issue a speakable command to go back to a previous page?
    Thank you.
    20 iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    You can speak "Define keyboard command" from any application, and in the editor, can limit that command to a particular application. This allows you to add speakable commands for standard items such as:
    "Move Back" (Cmd + Left Arrow)
    "Move Forward" (Cmd + Right Arrow)
    The "Make this Page Speakable" command is an Apple Script that will be harder to port to Firefox, but I have a workaround that may suffice for you.
    I assume you only have a certain number of links (5 or 10?) that you wish to make speakable. If you create them all in Safari using the standard command, it will add web links to the Safari speakable items directory:
    ~/Library/Speech/Speakable\ Items/Application\ Speakable\ Items/Safari
    Copy all of those web links into your Firefox speakable items directory:
    ~/Library/Speech/Speakable\ Items/Application\ Speakable\ Items/firefox-bin
    Then those speakable pages should work from Firefox. Note: You'll need to redo this step anytime you create a new speakable page, so I recommend doing it all at once.

  • Command for Images in the WAD 2004s

    Hi
    I have notived that in 2004s that the new Button Group web Item allows the user to assign commands. eg: Bookmark.   It does however not allow the user to assign an image instead of a Button.
    It is also possible to insert an image however I have not been able to assign a command to an image.  One of the configurable attributes of the Image is "onclick"
    I was wondering if it is possible to assign a command to this attribute?
    I have tried unsuccessfully to generate the code for bookmarking using the "script" menu item and then assigned this javascript to the image "onclick" attribute however this has not worked.
    If anyone has used this functionality I would appreciate your input.
    The following code is generated from the script meu item for Bookmark.
    function Bookmark(currentState, defaultCommandSequence)
         var commandSequence = new sapbi_CommandSequence();
         //Create a new object of type sapbi_Command with the command named "EXPORT"
         var commandEXPORT_1 = new sapbi_Command( "EXPORT" );
         //End command commandEXPORT_1
         //Add the command to the sequence
         commandSequence.addCommand( commandEXPORT_1 );
         //Create a new object of type sapbi_Command with the command named "SAVE_BOOKMARK"
         var commandSAVE_BOOKMARK_2 = new sapbi_Command( "SAVE_BOOKMARK" );
         //End command commandSAVE_BOOKMARK_2
         //Add the command to the sequence
         commandSequence.addCommand( commandSAVE_BOOKMARK_2 );
         //Send the command sequence to the server
        return sapbi_page.sendCommand( commandSequence );

    Hi Ian,
    please tell us why you marked this question as answered. If found a way to do what you wanted to do, please post it, as it may help others who have the same question. Like me, for example, I want an image to show a popup window similar to the one shown when you create a button group and assign one of the buttons the command "OPEN_VARIABLE_DIALOG". This should happen when you click on the image.

  • Disable Iphone 4S for periods throughout the day monday to friday

    Is it possible for 02 to disable a phone for given periods of time?  I need to limit the phone use by my young niece whilst at school without resorting to taking the phone off her.  Is it possible for 02 set up an automatic disable of the phone monday to friday between the hours of 8.45am - 3.30pm?  The phone is on monthly contract rather than PAYG.  I think I know the answer but I live in hope. Thank you Karen

    I agree with you but it's amazing how many kids do take their phones into school and despite school rules they do sometimes use their phones but usually during breaks only.   I think this is one for parents not the school.  The contract is my name so I can monitor use and therefore overspends are rare and low cost, usually £5.00 at most, but I know of children who have run up horrendous bills for the bill payer. I am shocked and disappointed that the industry has not yet developed a device and contract for children's' (under 18s) use that parents have more control of and children more restrictions.   Children should not be able to 'lock' their phones in my opinion.    K

  • Inside the browser, right click on the mouse seems to be disabled. How can I enable the right click button? It works fine on toolbars and tab bar but not inside tabs or windows. I would like to be able to copy and paste and such. Thank you

    Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.

    There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
    See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
    [ ] "Disable or replace context menus"
    There are other things that need attention:

  • Where is the back feature for returning to the page i was previously on...no matter where i look i cant find it

    I am using the Mozilla Firefox as my browser. But everytime I open a new window, I am unable to navigate back to the previous page. It is so frustrating to not be able to use a back arrow.
    Where is this feature hidden?>????

  • Back button for Navigation in the UWL

    Just migrated an EP 6 SP2 Patch 4 to Patch 31 and now the Button in the UWL got lost.
    It was just above the R/3 system view and now there is only a link on the left side which says "back".
    That´s not enough for my case.
    So how can I get back the button or is it impossible ?
    Thanks.

    Hi Wei,
    That's because you can't link to UDO's. There is no object type for an UDO. You should use onject type NONE and make the logic behind it yourself. (Capture the linked button press event and handle all actions)
    Hope this helps,
    Rowdy

  • Why does my 2012 Retina Macbook Pro's trackpad become extremely unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse? The only trackpad command that works is the left click, I can't select text or press down and hold the trackpad to do anything else until I restart.

    My trackpad becomes REALLY unresponsive after I plug in a USB mouse. It seems like the cursor is broken and stuck on a permanent left click or something. I'm unable to select text or do any other sort of action that requires you to hold down the trackpad and drag. Mouse icons don't update as I scroll over different text and links. The trackpad is usually stuck in this unresponsive state until I restart my macbook which is extremely inconvenient if I have to do this after every time I use a USB mouse. Are there any fixes to this?

    Melophage,
    I don't leave it outside. Usually when I leave it overnight, I do so under the same conditions as when I leave it plugged in, and this morning I only left it for about an hour in my house and it did the same thing.
    LowLuster,
    I actually have a new hard drive I bought a while back and have been meaning to switch it out with the one that's in there now. I'll follow your instruction, then make the switch I had planned on and report back.

  • Colors turned negative I woke up this morning and turned my phone off and on because it was acting funny. When it can back on the colors were all inverted. How do I change it back? I've tried the triple click, and changing it in accessibility.

    i Cannot get my phone colors flipped back to normal even after trying the ideas in the forums

    I seem to have somehow solved this
    So this is what I did
    turn off / re-power up
    Reset all settings
    check emails - no change
    went to one of my email accounts (as I have multiple emails) and turned off the main one of the SMTP server
    it then worked
    No doubt I will be back here again when it fails again
    (as obviously there is something in IOS5 triggering this)

  • I upgraded to version 9 from version 8. The following items do not work properly - menu, home page, navigation bar, wheel click. I backed up to version 8, and none of this stuff works right. How do I fix this?

    When I open Firefox, the bookmark menu is a little tab in the upper left corner. If I go to view and un-click bookmark menu and then view, click it, the standard menu bar shows up. The Back and Forward buttons don't work. The navigation window does not show the URL of the current page. When opening, the home page does not come up. The wheel click works on the bookmark bar, but not within a page. The menu (file, edit, etc) does not work after the first page. Version 8 worked well. When I upgraded to version 9, all this trouble started. I backed up to version 8, but the problem persists.

    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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
