Be sure that the properties of your mouse are set so that the "middle click" is set to be just that, and not some other function. Most modern mice are programmable in that regard.

make sure that browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick is set to true. and like the above poster said, make sure your middle mouse works in other applications as well as a middle mouse

Just type about:config in the address bar and find the option and set it to true. :)

Thx i just found out too. But its already set to true. :( I guess must be d driver. I guess i have to wait til december for microsoft to release it new software for my mouse that compatible wiv vista.

I remembered i could use middle click b4 but somehow it has been disabled.

Good luck waiting for Microsoft to release a driver update to enhance your Firefox experience.... ;)

Try looking for the Tabs extension for firefox as another work-around for your problem.

Mines stopped working after the last Logitech update i had to start to double click the middle button for it to work! Atm i just exit the Logitech Setpoint software when windows loads up! once i get a bit of time i'll move to an older version of Set Point!

When I installed the drivers for my Logitech Mouse & Keyboard, I can't use the Middle Click either. So I went to the Logitech Control Thingy and change my Middle Button to "Generic Button" and "BAM!", it works wonderfully again. Now I don't know about Microsoft's mouse, but you can try playing around with the button settings, see if that would help. :D
