Can I force middle click to exclusively activate auto scrolling only?

I don't want the middle mouse button to do anything except auto scroll. I don't want it to paste, open new tabs/windows, or close tabs/windows ever no matter where i click. When trying to auto scroll over a link (ex. wallpaper galleries), firefox opens the link in a new window. As far as I can tell, I have all relevant settings and about:config options set correctly for the function i desire.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type about:config. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter mouse and press enter. At this point, DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ! ! ! Just look around and if you see something useful, ask about it.
