X11 middle click paste in pane should goto location but doesn't since upgrade to 3.6

In unix / linux up 'til now the x11 middle mouse button click maps to "paste". If ff received a middle click paste in the main pane it would act as "goto location". Hence if you blocked google in a window and middle clicked in firefox firfox went to google.
Since changing to 3.6 this has stopped working.
Forget "open location" or "cntrl+L" as these do not implement this functionality (obvious really since they highlight the text in the location buffer the X11 text buffer is overwritten with the current location and not where you need to go).
This was a <really> useful feature in firefox - does anyone know how to make it come back?

I am now pretty sure this problem was caused by the "switchproxy" addon - I can't find the source of this addon now and I think it has been replaced by multiproxy switch which works in pretty much the same way without the side effect.
Enabling switchproxy disabled the middle paste button, disabling it or removing it reversed the problem.

Middle click paste no longer works correctly zsh

After a recent update my middle click to paste no longer works right. Instead or just pasting "x" it will paste "00~x01~". I tried terminator and rxvt-unicode and they do the same. This is a recent issue that just started after an update. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: This seems to only happen sometimes randomly. Also, when it does my home key and end key does not take me to the beginning and end of the line.
Edit2: Seems to be related to zsh. When I switch to bash this doesn't occur. Looking into it more. (Edited title). Here's my .zshrc (removed irrelevant stuff):

I don't use zsh, yet when I've used it (or any other shell) to paste text I just use [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[V] and to copy text from shell use [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[C].
I hope that helps!
Yeah. Pasting by clicking the middle button. It works if I do not use this plugin so I will just leave it disabled I guess until I figure this out.

Why can't I middle click "Paste and go" to launch a new tab?

When right clicking the address bar to paste a link, the context menu gives you the option of "Paste and Go" but only allows you to left click. How do I get it so that I can middle click the the context menu so that it will load in a new tab, like normal middle clicking behavior?
Does Firefox have any plan to enable this feature? Its extremely annoying to have to open a new tab and click on it before being able to paste and go. I usually will just paste, then ALT+Enter to open a new tab but don't always have my keyboard handy while surfing the web from my couch.

Note that you can paste the text in the location bar and then middle-click the Go button to open the link in a new tab.

Query with subquery should return value but doesn't

When I run this SQL, it returns no value:
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
AND vf.permit_year = 2010
AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
AND vfn.date_issued = (SELECT MAX(date_issued)
FROM vps_fishery_ner
WHERE vp_num = 211652
AND ap_year = 2010);
In order to test, I take out the subquery and run it separately:
SELECT MAX(date_issued)
FROM vps_fishery_ner
WHERE vp_num = 211652
AND ap_year = 2010;
Returns 02-APR-10
Then I paste this date into the original query (using the TRUNC function, of course, since I hardcode only the DDMMYY part of the date):
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
AND vf.permit_year = 2010
AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
AND TRUNC(date_issued) = TO_DATE('02-APR-10');
And this returns the required value, 'A'.
So why doesn't the full query with subquery work, if the value that is returned by the subquery is valid and works when you just paste it in?
Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure about your question.
But you say when you uss 01-apr-10 you get the expected results.
So why dont you try using trunc on botht sides
SELECT vfn.cat
FROM vps_fishery_ner vfn, valid_fishery vf
WHERE vfn.plan = vf.plan
   AND vfn.cat = vf.cat
   AND vf.permit_year = 2010
   AND vf.moratorium_fishery = 'T'
   AND vfn.vp_num = 211652
   AND vfn.ap_year = 2010
   AND vfn.plan = 'MUL'
   AND trunc(vfn.date_issued) = (SELECT MAX(trunc(date_issued))
                            FROM vps_fishery_ner
                           WHERE vp_num = 211652
                             AND ap_year = 2010);Rememeber if you are couting on some Index to be used you might want to recheck.
IN answer to your question why it does not return with subquery included, because the TIME PART is not the same.
You yourself proved it by using the supplying only the date part.

I am trying to open a file that was e-mailed to me in the PDF format, when I click on it, the icon shows ''connecting'', but doesn't open the file are allow me to save it to my computer so I can open it with Adobe Reader, what else can I do??

My suppliers e-mail me a copy of my monthly statements which is so much better than using snail mail, but since I have started using Mozilla Firefox, I can't seem to get them to open nor will it allow me to save them to my computer. Do you have any idea why this would do this??

Hi brendalynn6,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

Online bill should show names but doesn't

I have around 70 phone numbers in my BT Bill Address Book, but when I look at my phone bill's calls online they only ever show the phone number and won't allow me to re-enter the person's name instead, despite them appearing in my address book listing. It just asks me to LOG IN and the next page says we are experiencing problems with this section of the site. It has been going on for three months and is frustrating as all the information is already in my Address Book database. Anyone else having this problem?

Middle-click for pasting not working

I'm not too sure what the problem is, but here's my setup:
I've got X installed, with a minimal .xinitrc for wmii (following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wmii)
Right now, it's really just
until wmii; do

done
I've got the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
in order to simulate the middle button (my laptop only has 2 buttons).
I've also got gvim (following the advice from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124842&p=1) installed. At best, I expect that middle-click pasting should work between different tabs of firefox, but even that doesnt work?

It could either need cleaning or a a software reload.

Middle Click Panning in Chromium not working

[Solved] Split Tmux window prevents middle-click from functioning

I have an annoying problem with Tmux. If I open a TTY and run Tmux in just the one window my middle-click/paste action works properly. However, if I split a window my middle-click merely changes which window should be the active one. I realise I could disable mouse support and get the correct middle-click behaviour I desire. However, I'd like to keep my middle-click/paste function with my mouse. Does anyone have a solution or pointer to a possible way to keep both functions intact?
Thank you!

Hi karol, yes I meant to say a terminal window in X, i.e., xfce4-terminal and roxterm. Pasting text only fails if I have tmuxvsplit its active (currently focused) window either horizontally or vertically. The pasting function fails even if I create a new window and then split that one within the tmux environment too.
My .tmux.conf:
#~/.tmux.conf - tmux terminal multiplexer config
# Based heavily on Thayer Williams' (http://cinderwick.ca)
## Environmental Options
# Enable tmux to use a 256 colour terminal
# Provided the underlying terminal supports 256 colours, it is usually sufficient to add the following to ~/.tmux.conf:
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'
# Set clock colour.
setw -g clock-mode-colour green
#setw -g clock-mode-colour blue
# If you SSH into a host in a tmux window, you'll notice the window title of your terminal emulator remains to be user@localhost
# rather than user@server. To allow the title bar to adapt to whatever host you connect to, set the following in ~/.tmux.conf
set -g set-titles on
set -g set-titles-string "#T"
# open a man page in new window
bind m command-prompt -p "new-window 'exec man %%'"
## By default, all windows in a session are constrained to the size of the
## smallest client connected to that session, even if both clients are
## looking at different windows. It seems that in this particular case, Screen
## has the better default where a window is only constrained in size if a
## smaller client is actively looking at it. This behaviour can be fixed by
## setting tmux's aggressive-resize option.
setw -g aggressive-resize on
## mouse-select-pane [on | off]
## If on, tmux captures the mouse and when a window is split into multiple panes
## the mouse may be used to select the current pane. The mouse click is also
## passed through to the application
set -g mouse-select-pane on
## Upon starting to use tmux, I noticed that I had to add a noticeable delay
## between two characters in a command sequence for it to recognize the
## command, for example between the C-a and n in C-a n. This is because tmux is
## waiting for an escape sequence. Fix that by setting escape time to zero.

Middle click on a tab closes all tabs.

Ok I just installed Firefox 4 final release, fresh and whenever I middle click on a tab, all the tabs close immediately. If I turn on the message box asking me to "close all tabs?" the box pops up when I middle click on it. I had this same problem on RC1 and RC2, even with tab-mix plus installed I couldn't control the behaviour of middle click on a tab. I have tried this on RC1 and RC2 clean install and with tab mix plus but whatever I do firefox tries to close all the other tabs when I middle click on one.
I have Firefox running on a XP system but I havent faced any issue on that. The system that has problems is the one with Windows 7 and I may have to mention this, Logitech's Set point software to configure the different buttons on the wireless mouse. I have check the configuration in the software and Middle Click is set to Middle click. This configuration was working fine on the same system when I was running firefox 3.6.* and started when I upgraded to FF4.

I use a laptop wit Win 7 and only meet this problem if the FF is in full screen mode, and because of it the tabs are in the header - in line with the Firefox button. If I change to windowed mode the tabs goes on row lower and middle click works as it should.
I use the software "SecondShell" to remap the caps lock into middle button - if I "click" with it the FF works fine, just the mouse cause the problem.

Why does a new tab (middle click) in a new window open in the original window?

In FF 4 Beta 11 I open a new window, middle click a link in the new window, but the new tab opens on the original window.
Why doesn't it open in the new window?
Are there settings to alter this behaviour?

In 4.0 stable this problem still occurs. I have restarted in safe mode and all new tabs (middle click or right click new tab) open in the original window.

Yes but that's also applies to clicking the icon on the bar. I want:

This is the default behavior on windows 7 superbar

Cmd-Opt-V pastes effects but doesn't remove those there-Why not?

Hi
Been going thru some lessons, what fun, how helpful learning shortcuts and techniques I haven't employed up to now. Anywho...
When I copy a clip (intending to paste them to another clip) and then press Cmd-Opt-V, it pastes effects from the copied clip but doesn't remove those to the targeted clip. Why not?
best
elmer

That is the way the application works.
To my mind, that is a better choice than would be deleting the existing effects.
On the other hand, it might be useful to have a "remove effects" command - though I would not use it very often.
You can use the feedback to request/suggest features. I don't think that they will change this, as it is bound to annoy at least as many people as it pleases.
