Subject: URL paste in firefox 3
moin moin,

this might be just a change for Ubuntu.

For a long time Firefox allowed pasting a URL via the middle mouse button.
Firefox would then open that URL.

The Firefox 3 beta in hardy no longer allows using the middle button to
paste a URL to open. I constantly use this, so it was dearly missed.

It used to be that setting middlemouse.paste to true on the about:config
page would enable pasting URLs, but that was on and pasting to open was
still broken on a couple of boxen.

Apparently middlemouse.contentLoadURL needs to be set to true as well.

Changing that on both boxen that weren't working fixed the problem. I
still need to check the other two boxen that were still pasting to open.

ciao,
