RFC: Firefox general.autoScroll to true

[Naheem Zaffar]

I think there is an issue here, but not the one being specified.

Middle click to paste is all and good. Firefox using it to go to the stored
address has been accepted by many.

However, Firefox also uses middle-click to open link in a new window.

Now, combine the two and when you "miss" a link, (or a pervious windows user
trying to activate page scrolling),  instead of opening the link you wanted
in a new tab you end up going to (what I - until this thread thought was)
some random page. Not exactly pleasant behaviour.

No idea what is right, but there is an issue here.

@the last post that this has been the case since whenever - the whole point
behind Firefox was that it could drop the legacy cruft that the Mozilla
suite had to carry around. Now that Firefox is the main browser, that may no
longer be the case. Previously, Firefox dared to be "better".

Having Firefox paste on middle click is not a problem. Having it jump to a
link is something that needs some usability love to decide if it is good
behaviour.
