Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [ticket:11209 blubber]:
 > I suggest middlemouse.contentLoadURL to be disabled per default, since I
 *always* accidentially middle mouse click at some point when scrolling,
 even more so with my trackpoint. In my regular firefox I have disabled
 this behaviour, but it's all too easy to forget with the tor browser.

 Because there is no autp-updater yet or is there another reason why the
 Tor Browser case is different for you?
