The round “Auto Scroll” icon is sometimes really annoying, especially when you try to middle click on a link and you miss it. The page starts moving and scrolling by itself. Well, if you don’t like it then there’s a way to disable it. You can do so by going to Options> Advanced> and then uncheck “Use autoscrolling” box as shown below.


I came to know of something.. else.. but new.. :-?…..
after reading this post.. at least new for me..
That when u “middle click” a link in firefox… it opens in a new tab.. nice. thanx.
Optionally, you can type about:config into the browser address bar, filter by middlemouse and enable middle mouse as a paste key (just dbl click it). Works great!
what if i want to disable the anoying open URL feature instead
i like the auto scroll and hate it when i middle click on a link and get a new tab, i just want to scroll
