that's a bit odd. Updated to the same version a few days ago as well, haven't noticed any problems yet.

More than one game? Scan for viruses?

I've updated FF and haven't had any problems.

Might be FF still receives the middle mouse button event (or whatever you bound to "open the contents of the clipboard as a URL"). If memory deceives me not, I had this problem years ago with a Logitech mouse + driver. I can't offer a real solution: I just wiped Windows and installed Linux (though not because of that).

Debian testing. The fertile grounds in between the inertia of stable and the bleeding edge madness that is unstable / experimental.
