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?

Apologies - this isn't broken in firefox but broken in the distro (kubuntu lucid).

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sure this problem was caused by the "switchproxy" addon - I can't find the source of this addon now and I think it has been replaced by multiproxy switch which works in pretty much the same way without the side effect.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.
