I don't have that. I have: switch the primary button assignment, double click speed and clicklock. > > 5.

For me this was checked by default in SM when I upgraded and also, sadly, lost Piro's TBE (had I known TBE would be lost, I would not have upgraded as TBE was why I was using SM). I never tried this middle click with my mouse as I didn't think it would work since I don't have the settings you describe in Control Panel/Mouse. I tried it just now on a link in a web forum and it works! I had been right clicking on links and choosing open in new tab like DoctorBill. So, I am glad to have learned how to get a new tab to open when clicking on links without having to do right click, etc. but with TBE now missing from SM, I will be using Fx mostly since I am totally addicted to TBE3 in Fx and especialy to Tree Style tabs. > > 10.
