How do you disable the scrolll wheel click from going back to a previous site?
This has been bugging me for a while now. I click on links using my scroll wheel to open them up in a new tab. If I accidentally click outside of the link, Firefox will take me back to the website that I last visited. Here's an example. I go to google and then go to youtube. If I click anywhere on the page that isn't a link using the scroll wheel, it takes me back to google. I've checked the about:config mousewheel settings and to my understanding, the "2" value is what makes the mousewheel do this. However, none of the options in my about:config have the "2" value. I don't believe it's a driver issue because I use Linux and am provided with the default drivers. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you. Unfortunately, changing those settings didn't help, but I believe I found the solution. In the about:config page there's an option named middlemouse.contentLoadURL. If you set that to false, it seems to stop the middle mouse click from going back to the previous visited website.

You can modify mousewheel.with prefs on the about:config page to disable actions for specific modifiers.
0 means "Do nothing" 1 means "Scroll contents" 2 means "Go back or forward in the history" 3 means "Zoom in or out the contents"
mousewheel.default.action mousewheel.with_alt.action mousewheel.with_control.action mousewheel.with_meta.action mousewheel.with_shift.action
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
