Middle Mouse Button stops working

On Ubuntu LTS and Firefox 39.0 14.04. In the latest version, my middle mouse button worked, if there were times where I had to click in different places on the link so he can accept the click and open the link in a new tab. There are two versions, I had no such problem. With this version, 39.0, my Center button will not open the link in a new tab, I'm at RMC on the link and choose 'Open link in a new tab. In my config, mouse for these last options are set to True:
Browser.Tabs.opentabfor.MiddleClick; true
middlemouse. Paste; false
middlemouse.contentLoadURL; true
middlemouse.openNewWindow; true
duplicatethistab. Link.MiddleClick.open_in_duplicate_tab; true
duplicatethistab.bfhistory.MiddleClick.open_in_duplicate_tab; true

Initially a couple of them are false and I changed the true, but it still doesn't work.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Note that duplicatethistab prefs used by the extension to duplicate this tab, so it is possible that this extension is causing the problem.
Note that this extension is no longer maintained by its developer.

  • ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse buttons stop working

    My ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse is a great device, except that very often the buttons stop working; for example, I can click the close X at the top right of a window and nothing happens. I found that cross all possible button clicks, including failover of the scroll wheel, will get running again. My assessment is that the software Lenovo mouse Suite merges very often on the State of the mouse buttons; for example, software problem, not a hardware problem. Frequency is approximately 1 event in 20 hours of use. What must I do to get help?

    Windows 7 x 64 with all updates

    ThinkPad X 220 with built-in Bluetooth

    Mouse Suite Lenovo: 6.47 (upgrade to 6,48)

    UPDATE: just had to happen once again (still ongoing: 6,47). I tried a lot of things with the mouse and the only thing that solved the problem was to tilt the mouse wheel (first to the left then to the right).

    UPDATE: I recently had the left and right tilt scroll wheel assigned to respectively backward and forward, and I don't remember having this problem before I did these assignments, so I changed both of these assignments to disabled to see if that makes a difference. I've also updated the Mouse Suite version 6.48 software.

    For further investigation:

    100% reproducible failure

    When I opened Firefox 11.0 with only one tab, the window control icons (Minimize, Maximize, Close) would correctly highlight on mouseover and works correctly when you click on it. When I then open or switch to another tab, there was no highlight on mouseover and is no longer, they responded to clicks. Other actions of the mouse work properly, including the icons of window control in other apps I tested.

    I uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox 11.0, define a new profile is empty, and the problem persisted. I checked for other reports of this problem in Firefox, and while I found a (very) few similar reports, I found that there was no evidence a general problem in Firefox.

    Successful correction

    I uninstalled ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse, mouse, Lenovo, ThinkPad UltraNav Utility, ThinkPad UltraNav Driver and rebooted, installed just the TrackPoint with the Microsoft Compatible PS/2 driver, and the problem does not recur. I think only installed two UltraNav packages with system update, then the Lenovo ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse with mouse Suite, and the problem still does not happen. It continues to operate correctly.

    My assessment

    My assessment is that something subtle had screwed up in Lenovo UltraNav and/or mouse Suite, which has been fixed by uninstalling and then reinstalling everything. I don't think that there is a problem in Firefox.

  • Qosmio PX30T - Bluetooth mouse has stopped working

    I was able to reactivate Bluetooth on my PX30T after having changed the batteries in my Bluetooth mouse. (Sorry Toshiba, your standard mouse is uncomfortable!). Not sure if the circumstances leading to it as my son noticed the battery do not and then changed the batteries.

    I have gone into arrangements and have looked everywhere and not see compatible Bluetooth (or even a switch to do). I have no more Bluetooth icon in my taskbar. The only clue that there is in the mouse settings, but it won't let me uninstall it either.

    Other than a reset full... any ideas?

    Are you sure that it is a BT mouse?
    The manual indicates that the keyboard and wireless mouse are connected to the all-in-one computer! I recommend the user manual.

    Usually the keyboard and wireless mouse may be detected by computer automatically.
    But in case that does not work, you may need to match the WLan keyboard and mouse.

    (1) turn on the computer
    (2) press and hold the middle mouse button
    (3) slice the power that, in the back of the mouse on the market
    (4) the battery indicator starts flashing to indicate that the mouse is ready to be paired
    (5) keep the mouse near the bottom right of the computer within 10 cm place the WLan receiver
    (6) the battery indicator lights up for about 5 seconds if the pairing is successful

    the connection will be established then

  • How can I speed up my middle mouse button scrolling?

    When I try to scroll down using the middle mouse button, it goes so slow I can't, so I use the scroll bar to the right. It's embarrassing for me. When I reset the button of the mouse on my windows to multiple lines, it allows to scroll too fast for my docs, but does not affect the scrolling in FireFox. I have looked for tools and options for this and cannot find anything to do about it.

    You can try to change one (or two) of these hidden parameters:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the wheel and take a break while the list is filtered

    (3A) double-click the preference mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y and type a higher value to each movement of the wheel to cover more ground. For example, you can try 300 or 500. You can keep this tab open and to experiment with scrolling in a different tab until you find a value that gives you the speed you are looking for.

    (3B) double-click the preference mousewheel.system_scroll_override_on_root_content.vertical.factor and type a higher value. For example, try changing from 200 to 500. You can keep this tab open and to experiment with scrolling in a different tab until you find a value that gives you the speed you are looking for.

    I'm not sure I understand the reason why there are two such similar tariff preferences. One of them do you want?

  • Middle mouse button opens the link in the TWO tabs

    Like many users, I started only problems with Firefox since the onslaught of updates began. For the most part, they disappeared with newer versions, or are minor annoyances.

    MY PROBLEM: When I use the middle button of the mouse to open a link, it now opens the link to the top in two separate tabs. This started after the upgrade to version 29 only and did not immediately (perhaps a few days). I just updated to 29.0.1, who did nothing with regard to the question of fixing.

    It is not the mouse, because I can open Chrome, find a link, use the middle mouse button and get only a tab.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies. An update since then has actually fixed all the problems except one. Now I'm trying to get the downloads to open in a tab, but only an extension seems to fix this...

    Some features:
    Toshiba Satellite C660-1r1
    Windows 7 sp1
    Avast Antivirus (free version)

    Problem:
    When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs! When I go into Device Manager, my synaptic touchpad and my hid mouse is working also. When I press ctrl - alt - del, the pointer can move again, but when I come back it stops again. I have a work around is not a solution

    When I disconnect my windows account and log in again, it will solve the problem. When I start a program again the pointer will freeze up again.
    I did a complete system of virusscan and a pre start virusscan and my laptop is virus-free.
    I uninstalled the mouse and in drivers reinstalled synaptics them but that has not worked. I added a new account windows but that did not work.
    By pressing the keycombo FN + F9 has no effect.
    I am somehow at the end of my ideas...

    Can anyone help!

    When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs!

    This problem happens using the touchpad only or have you noticed the freezing of cursor using the external USB mouse too?

    What is the notebooks touchpad works properly without loading and using this 3rd party software?
    For example, work the touchpad with Microsoft office (Word, Excel, etc.) or navigation in internet by using IE or Chrome?

    My guess is that the pre-installed 3rd application part could affect the functionality of the touchpad.

    Hello

    HP also has their own update so he could be there?

    I would stop automatic driver updates, because they are often older certified and MS is far behind.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

  • USB mouse & keyboard stop working after the upgrade of Intel generic drivers drivers!

    Original Post: USB mouse & keyboard stop working after upgrade to generic drivers

    After you install Windows, the Generic USB controller drivers are installed. My mouse & keyboard as planned work & that are each recognized as "compatible mouse/keyboard HID."

    After I installed the Intel drivers for root USB controller, the mouse & keyboard stop working and are classified as unknown. Shortly after, they are considered HP USB Optical Mouse & HP USB Standard keyboard, however the drivers never properly install and they remain under unknown devices with a yellow exclamation point.

    I have searched high & low for these device drivers, they do not exist. I installed the drivers for all of the materials appearing on the site of the seller. This has happened on several computers, laptops and desktop computers.

    I've done all the troubleshooting I can think. Uninstalled all the controllers/USB hubs & restarted. Switched USB ports, I tried new mouse & keyboard, wanted Windows updates.

    The only way I can make it work is if I use the generic Windows drivers, who then recognized the mouse & KB "HID compliant". It seems that if I install Intel drivers, it recognizes the mouse & keyboard more in detail and he wants specific drivers to continue.

    Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    My wireless mouse just stopped working.  I can still use the mousepad however.  I changed the batteries does not.  Then I tried another mouse wireless, and it didn't work either.  What can I do next?

    Buy an inexpensive wired USB mouse for less than $5 and see if it works.  As far as I'm concerned wireless mice are more trouble than they are worth.  YMMV :-)

    Good luck.
