Handling of middle mouse click in Firefox 3.0
Just had a "experience" of the undesired kind. Normally when you use the middle mouse button on a link in Firefox, it opens the page in a new tab.
Well, when you use the middle mouse button on the tab (even when not hitting the little close button) then it closes the tab! Not quite what I expected. I thought it would take the link of what is displayed in that tab and open a new tab with that link.
I just lost quite a lot of work that I just had entered into a web form. :-( Oh, well...

For future reference, if you hit ctrl + shift + T afterwards, it'll reopen the tab, likely with all the form data restored.
Anonymous, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that next time.
