With the middle mouse button, click the "search" button on e.g.,
http://lists.debian.org/search.html

Well, whatever happens, it certainly isn't what one expects: no POST
request is sent and one cannot see the results in another tab.

A little weird, it seems to just reload the page. Not really a big
deal though.

The middle button in Firefox pastes the contents of X clipbord to the
address bar. So if you have the original page's address in clipborad, it
will be pasted and thus reloaded. If you put something else into the
clipboard, you'll probably get another page or "address invalid" error
message :)
I find this behavior a bug actually because I have Firefox configured to
"auto-scroll" (or whatever it's called in English - I already forgot...) and
it doesn't work, becuase middle click takes me to enother page instead. The
same happens when I middle-click on a tab (it should close this tab as
happens in Windows version).

Ahh, yes, I see.

I never claimed it was not a bug, but since it only happens with a
button is under the cursor, it's pretty minor.

What I meant is this is completly different bug than described by bug
submitter. This is a case of ignoring my browser settings and doing
something completly different. And it happens all over the page, actually :)
I haven't tested if it's Debian-specific or serched Bugzilla for it yet (I
suppose I should :) )

This bug has been analyzed and renamed and etc. etc. way beyond my
initial report. So I should not be the one to decide if it still
exists anyway.
