Mid-Button troubleshooting
If the web page has scroll bars and
autoscrolling is enabled, Mid-Button currently does not work correctly. As a workaround, you can disable autoscrolling by unchecking the Use autoscrolling checkbox in the Firefox browser options, as is shown in the screenshot below (for the Firefox case).
