Under Linux, the middle button click on a Firefox window treats the 
current contents of the clipboard (whatever text is highlighted in 
another application) as a URL, and goes to that URL. This is very 
useful, because if you want to jump to a URL from another app you just 
highlight it in that app and then middle-click on Firefox. It doesn't do 
this under XP. If you want Linux to behave like Windows, you should be 
able to do the following:

1. Type "about:config" in the Firefox address bar.
2. Type "middlemouse" in the "Filter" box.
3. Set "middlemouse.contentLoadURL" to "false" (double click it to 
toggle from true to false).
