Not explicity compatible w/ 2 rc2, but might work.

Oh, and pre-emptively: Whiner! =)

Your outdated link for version 9.6 didn't work but I followed the creator's homepage link and found version 9.7 which works : )

shame Firefox needs an extension to do something as simple as that though!

Why click the middle button when 99% of the time I want to open a new tab when I click on a bookmark?

Clicking the middle button sucks with a mousewheel doubling as your middle button. It's hell on your middle finger having to push that thing down...the unstable wheel button could cause a slip off the edge of the wheel resulting in sprain of your finger and some unforeseen click of the left or right mouse buttons, causing additional trauma and grief.

It makes much more sense the way this guy has the extension setup...normal left click opens bookmarks in new tab window, middle click will open the bookmark in the same window if you want to revert to archaic browsing methods.

Yes, but it's helping me explain to the lurkers the screwed up way tabs are handled in various browsers so your trolling is beneficial in this case!

Have you tried FF2 on Vista ? I'm running Ultimate Beta 2 Build 5472 (from DefCon).

I've been switching back and forth between IE7 (which I hate more the more I use it) and Opera 9.0, which I prefer over IE7 but have some compatibilty issues with some sites.

I havn't thought much about firefox on this system. Mind tossing up a link to download FF2?

I haven't tried it on Vista yet.

The link for FF2rc2 is on the Firefox's main page, on right side:

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

So far, I like the extensions of Firefox, which are required to make it worthwhile.

I also like how it imported preferences, bookmarks etc from Opera so I was up and running quickly

Initial impressions are positive if you take the time to find useful extensions (most already included in Opera 9) and also screw around with the about:config settings.

I'll give it a workout this weekend.
