Let that middle button of your mouse do a paste in Firefox

Tired of doing a right click  or pressing ctrl + V for pasting copied content ? Worry not this trick will let you paste with just one click of your mouse  in Firefox 3.

  • Open a new tab and in the browser url type in about:config.
  • After confirming now type in middlemouse.paste
  • Double click to set to true.  By default it is set to false

Now just copy anything and press middle button of your mouse. It will paste automatically. You can use to paste anything which is in your cllipboard or whatever you have using copy / ctrl + C in firefox but you cant paste outside firefox.

However if you dont have mouse with middle button you are little stuck there. I find it useful when I need to copy content from a document to mail and situations imilar to that.
