Hi
I use Firefox 1.0.1 and whats makes me crazy is the fact, that it opens a
new tab while clicking on the mouse wheel.
Since this mouse is a devilsoft one, the click on the mouse wheel behaves
too easy and when I read a text ion the net, I scroll using the wheel, and
the browser opens a new tab, indicating an error message.
That isn't funny anymore and begins really annoying.
How can I turn off this behaviour?

Replace the mouse by another model if the click is too soft. The wheel
mouse has the same function as the third mouse button and is used for
much more things under the X Window System than just opening new tabs
(for example pasting). Even very old Netscape browsers used the third
button to open new Navigator Windows. By editing the xorg.conf file you
can deactivate the third mouse button (a bad idea). But it is even
possible to emulate the third mouse button by pressing the left and the
right button at the same time.
