Mighty Mouse -- middle click & firefox

[brum]

I just got my Mighty Mouse and I love it!

One thing that is bothering me though...

In Firefox, I like to use the middle click to open links/bookmark icons in the background. I also like to use the middle click to close tabs.

However, with the Mighty Mouse I am having trouble getting this functionality to work. I've read that other people have gotten Firefox and their Mighty Mouse to work in the way I described above, but they don't specify how they configured it do make it work.

Do you know what Firefox extension I should use to get this middle button functionality to work? Thank you very much for any help.

I asked if this was possible in another Mighty Mouse thread, and someone answered "yes it is", but I don't know how it can be done.

I assume you have set the scroll ball click to trigger a Button 3 click?

Yeah, I have it set for Button 3.

What exactly can we do with this Button 3 configuration?

Can I set it for any keystroke?
For instance i would like it to do a CMD-[ so that i can go "back" on Safari.

Yeah it doesn't seem like we can assign keystrokes to the buttons. Too bad.


If anyone knows how to solve my problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
