[ale] firefox on Linux questions (middle click close tab)

[christopher at bergeron.com (Christopher Bergeron)]

Ok, I'm now running Linux as my preferred desktop of choice.  However, 
I've noticed that in Linux, when I middle click on a tab in Firefox, it 
doesn't close the tab.  In fact, sometimes I get very bizarre/unrelated 
websites that appear in the tab.

Does anyone have any idea what this behaviour is, and how I can set FF 
to close a tab when it's middle clicked on (with the mouse wheel; I'm on 
x86 not PPC).

As always, thanks in advance - this is really frustrating.

Thanks,
-CB
