From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) BuildID: 20020804 when i middle-click with the mouse on something that isn't a link, i would like to have a Internet Explorer-like middle-mouse button scrolling. it's just very handy, you don't have to move the scroll bars that way, just click and move the mouse left, right, up, or down Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. middle click anywhere in the screen, just not on links 2. nothing happens (ok, you might accidently paste the contents of the clipboard and get an error)

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 22775 ***

have a look at Gestures from 'optimoz' for mozilla (mozdev.org->...) there you can scroll the page by moving the mouse ... and you can do a lot of other features with it --- but you're right with your dupe of 22775
