Middle click copy and pasting is so useful, I immediately go into conniptions on windows because it's not available. I've written up some details of linux clipboard usage here:<a class="user" href="http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/xclipboard.html">http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/xclipboard.html</a>Note the middle click on scrollbar trick works on any gtk application at least.It didn't know firefox had specific logic for it, but I guess it does to support this on windos.@Akkana I'm commenting here as neither linuxplanet or your blog support comments.

Until they fix the graphics rendering performance issue's for firefox then i can't say firefox rocks on linux, but it is very useful.

Is the fact that Firefox freezes my system on websites like <a class="user" href="http://bioselement.endofinternet.net/blog/">http://bioselement.endofinternet.net/blog/</a> a nifty trick too? No other program can do that, wow!Oh, and it has it's own dictionary! Totally awesome! I need to add a word once for every other program I use, and then again for Firefox!
