[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!

    I am using a 24 inch imac and the problem is suddenly my mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work i can see cursor moving and i can use the features of the keyboard but my mouse dies. I tried to plug in another mouse magic trackpad and my tablet but each has the same problem. I can not click to anything but cursor is moving and computer is not frozen. I have to shut it off from the power button when this happens. Do you have any idea what can cause this and how can i fix this?

  • Auto-scoll (middle mouse button) gone/not working in Firefox 20/Windows 7 64-bit?

    duplicate of [/questions/956896]
    I recently upgraded both my work PC and my home PC to Firefox 20.0.1. My work PC (Win XP 32-bit) works fine, but my home PC (Win 7 64-bit) no longer allows me to auto-scroll when I click the middle mouse button (it does nothing). I have tried restarting Firefox with all addons disabled, as well as a totally fresh install, but haven't had any luck. To clarify, the mouse wheel itself still works as it should, it's just clicking it in to auto-scroll that's the problem.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    ##EDIT##
    Please delete this (double post)

    Did you check the setting?
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use autoscrolling"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Wouldn't apple check before releasing new version, I see so many people with same issue..its such a waste of time for everyone now to fix it.
    Is there any other way to fix before I try to un-install everything and re-install back?

  • Middle mouse button does not function for Firefox Tab browsing when cetain programs are running.

    My Microsoft Comfort Mouse 3000 middle button is set in Firefox to open and close tabs. (In Control Panel, Mouse, Firefox is the only program exception and the Wheel button is set to middle-click instead of the default Instant Viewer).
    When vlc media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) is running and at some point viewed in full screen, the middle mouse button reverts in Firefox to the default Instant Viewer. When vlc is closed, tab operation once again works.
    The same thing happens if MWSnap screen capture (http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html) is running.

    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

  • 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

  • I updated my ad to iOS 6 and now my App Store app does not work, how can I get it back

    I updated my iPad 2 with the latest iOS 6 and now my App Store application does not work right.  The only part that does work is the genius, and the purchased, but I cannot search for any new apps now have the categories come up.  I don't know how else to search for apps, and I don't know how to download this as it was pre installed.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • 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 - Dosen't work at all.

    So, my most used action within Firefox was utilizing the middle mouse button in order to open a new tab on a link. Now suddenly after a format on my PC, the middle mouse button refuses to be acknowledged at all by Firefox; can't even hold it down to auto scroll or anything. I want to confirm that the button works on other programs and games with no issues. Using using ctrl/shift+click is not optimal but what I'm doing so far. I'm using the latest version, here's a list of the things I've already tried:
    - Checking out all the related about:config's with "middle" as searching field.
    - Made a new profile and reset Firefox numerous times
    - Disabled/removed addons/extensions
    - Wiped and installed Firefox completely - Tried with no addons
    - Checked options
    So far no luck at all, even tried some other browsers such as aurora & chrome with the same issue essentially.

    Well for autoscroll have you made sure it was checked in Options->Advanced ?
    So you cannot use Middle-click to open links into a new tab or to middle a tab to close it?
    Aurora is not another browser but is the name of one of the four main development channels of Firefox where 29.0a2 is currently on. The others are Release, Beta and Nightly.

  • My ipad updated to IOS 7 today and now some of my apps are not working properly

    I updated my ipad to IOS7 and now some of my apps are not functioning correctly.  Is there anyway to revert back to previous software?

    I assume that you are familiar with your iPad's portrait orientation lock feature and you have verified your iPhone is not locked in this manner.
    In case you're not familiar, please make sure this icon does not appear on your iPad's status bar:
    If your iPad is not in portrait orientation lock, then the app developer should be prodded into updating their app to fix this defect.  Generally speaking, the App Store indicates a way to contact the developer to inform them of such defects.
