odd browser occurance

[Stragomagus]

For the past few weeks Mozilla Firefox has been having this strange problem. By strange I mean that sometimes when I hit the "backspace key" and hover for a second over a link it will automatically goto the address in that link.

 

 

 

Browser version: Firefox 3.0.11

 

 

 

I have narrowed it down to three possibilities:

 

 

 

1) It is a misclick from my wireless mouse(in effect a double-click after a single one when no click has occurred)

 

 

 

2) Some sites with tabs, after hitting the backspace key, will momentarily lag the mouse pointer and if I click one of the tabs it will instead click a link instead of switching between the content.

 

 

 

3) Slight interference between computers when browsing the net where our mice will, for a split second, hop onto someone else s screen.

Try updating to 3.5.1.

Try updating to 3.5.1.

 

I'd say to wait a little longer for that version. Personnally had to revert back because of a few problems including crashes.

 

 

 

I think a firefox reinstall is enough here ;).

Try updating to 3.5.1.

 

3.5 has been having security issues, I'd wait a bit and just reinstall your current version.
