Title: mouse buttons
Post by: Baz on Aug 23, 2009, 10:32:47
just noticed this today so dont know if its always been this way or not.I seem to have lost the centre click feature of my mouse that brings up the scroll double headed arrow icon that lets you control the page scroll.It works in IE but not FF. is it a IE thing  :dunno:

It works on Firefox for me, Baz.  In the Advanced tab of the Tools > Options window, there's a 'smooth scrolling' and 'auto scrolling' setting, which I have ticked, if that's any help.

Not hugely useful though, I wouldn't imagine.  :dunno:  Glad your button is sorted.  :thumb:
