I'd like to make middle clicking back page/refresh buttons not take me to the newly opened tab.
I just switched to firefox and one issue that I'd like to change is to make it so when I middle click on the backspace or refresh buttons, it doesn't automatically take me to the newly created tab. I had this issue with middle clicking links in pages and middle clicking on bookmarks, but I managed to fix both of those. I went to about:config, searched inbackground, and changed all those values to true, which as I said fixed the issue for middle clicking bookmarks, but there doesn't seem to be an option listed for backspace or refresh.
Thanks!

Middle-clicking the Back button to launch the previous page in a new tab, or middle-clicking the Reload button to duplicate the current tab, are somewhat specialized features. I suspect they don't get enough use to have new preferences for active vs. background tab developed. We're still waiting for the address bar "open in new tab" option.

Oops, sorry, I think I'm supposed to welcome you to Firefox. Welcome aboard!
