Mozilla Firefox and the middle mouse button
I've been using the nightly build with middle-button support for a week or two and to be honest, I still don't like Firefox. I can't put my finger on it but there's just something not right about it on the Mac and Windows platform.

I recently bought a microsoft optical mouse (USB) and had a fine working middle button (clicking the wheel) and right click buttons. (running os 10.3.8)

Regardless, the Firefox issue most definitely had to do with the application code itself. Thankfully this problem was finally fixed in CVS, and we should see it go away in the future. Still kinda interesting though, that I took a stab at it myself without even realizing the CVS fix existed, and even took the same approach. (of course the only other approach would require a lot more development effort than one could be willing to put in for a quick fix)

On Windows, Firefox has one kink that really annoys me. Windows seems VERY eager to swap the process out of RAM, and as such you always have an annoying thrashing lag when you havn't been using the browser for a while. |
