Any way to configure the Mighty Mouse...

[Racktacular]

Is there a way to assign the 2 finger click to the Mighty Mouse wireless mouse? I want to be able to open up a new tab within the same window (in Firefox) with the Mighty Mouse but I am not able to do it. I can do it by 2 finger clicking and then selecting "open in new tab". I thought that 2 finger clicking was essentially right-clicking but when I right-click (on the mouse) on a link, it just opens it up on the same page instead of a different tab. So I am forced to move over to the keyboard to open stuff in a new tab.

Any way around this?

TIA!

Two finger click? huh? really?

Have you tried middle clicking a link, there is a button below the scroll ball.

Make sure System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse has the right button set to Secondary Button.

It sounds like you aren't getting the right button at all.

Also, if you have a finger on the left button, while clicking on right button, you will only get the left.

Hope this helps.

While on the topic of tabs, check out the Tab Mix Plus extension for firefox - it rocks!

Weird. Now it doesn't work anymore. Actually it only works like 1/2 the time. Is this why some people don't like the Mighty Mouse?

In System Preferences make sure you have the scroll ball set as Button 3.

That did it. Thanks. I had it set to expose all windows, but i changed that to a different button.
