Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

From the beginning all worked right. But after some time appeared a problem. When I click one time on middle mouse button (wheel) on a link fx opens 2 tabs (rarely 3 tabs). Ctrl + left mouse button click is ok. This appears in 4.0b10pre and 3.6.15 . I use ubuntu 10.10 .
