Description internet657-redhat 2016-03-15 21:51:46 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build Identifier: 

When I am using Firefox on my laptop, using the middle click of my mouse redirects to a random previously visited page, I think of the current session.
My laptop  is a compaq cq58. My mouse is a logitech one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox.
2. Click the middle button of the mouse
Actual Results:  
Firefox changes the current page of the active tab to a random previously visited page.

Expected Results:  
Clicking the middle mouse button should allow me to scroll the page in the x and y axis.

Comment 1 internet657-redhat 2016-03-15 21:53:31 UTC
Well actually it looks like it only happens on most pages. For instance, clicking the middle button does nothing on this website.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2016-03-16 12:52:23 UTC
Can you provide me an example of page where I can reproduce it?

Comment 3 internet657-redhat 2016-03-18 00:33:10 UTC
Sorry, I was wrong. It doesn't depend of the page. This time for example, the bug occurs on any page. Sometimes, the bug doesn't occur everywhere the click on the middle button does simply nothing.

Do you have middlemouse.contentLoadURL enabled?

Comment 5 internet657-redhat 2016-03-24 01:02:52 UTC
I checked and I do. Should I set this to false? I never went in about:config with my current fedora installation.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 16:06:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:28:26 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
