I was just exploring the about:config page in Firefox and I managed to stumble upon a nice little tweak. In firefox you can paste text from the clipboard into any text field or the address bar with a middle click, just like in Linux. If you are used to middle click paste in Linux, this will save you a lot of time, even otherwise, a simple middle click is better than Ctrl+V.

Tested on (FF3.0 Vista/XP)

To get it to work,

  1. Enter about:config in the address bar and hit enter
  2. Look for a value named middlemouse.paste, you can use the filter for searching it.
  3. Double click on the value to change it to true.
  4. Thats it, you can now paste with the Middle Click!
