This has become more of an issue since I got a Magic Mouse and have middle-click mapped as 3-finger touch. It's always annoyed me that Firefox even does this--is there a way to prevent firefox from closing tabs when you middle-click them?

As there doesn't appear to be a setting in about:config, the only way i know how to do it is using the addon Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122

It is a system setting not Firefox. You can check on the file explorer.
On Ubuntu 18 gnome : gnome-tweaks > Windows > Titlebar Actions > Middle-Click > select Toggle Maximize
On other system : gsettings command line here: https://askubuntu.com/a/655648/360110

I believe the question is about browser tabs, not Gnome windows. – hackerb9 – 2019-06-30T04:14:11.033
that looks to be uber-overkill for the one thing I want to do, but thanks for the suggestion. – Brade – 2010-02-26T19:56:44.853
1Tab Mix Plus appears to have ceased development after Firefox Quantum. Is there another solution now? – Josip Rodin – 2018-11-27T11:45:51.193
