Ditched Chrome for Quantam but find myself relearning middle mouse interatction. Its strange because I have the same browser and OS on another computer and it doesn't happen as much / if at all.

Here's are the problems: 1) Middle mouse click on link to open in a new tab always opens 2 of the link in new tabs as opposed to the 1. 2) Middle mouse click to close tab closes the tab and then opens a new one

What could be going wrong? Its almost as if its clicking twice?

Use the Profilemanager to create a new Profile as the so called Refresh method is a awkward way to go about creating a new Profile while only keeping some of your settings.

bfalcon, try another mouse to rule it out?

Maybe check your mouse settings.
