When [Firefox](http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) went 1.0, I had to give up the “Close Tab on Double Click” extension since it wasn’t 1.0-friendly. I missed it. I had gotten in the habit of double clicking on tabs to close them and it took some time to get in the control/right-click habit again.
But now it’s back, and it’s better! The [author](http://twanno.mozdev.org/) of that extension has released [Tab Clicking Options](https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=260&vid=1220). Once installed, you can configure what happens when you double click, middle click, control click, shift click or alt/option click on a tab or the tabbar. So [Justin](http://www.carpeaqua.com/) it looks like you can have your [middle clicking back](http://www.carpeaqua.com/archives/2004/11/09/firefox_so_what.php).
I set it so double clicking closes the tab (yah!), double clicking in a blank spot on the tabbar opens a new tab, shift click duplicates, alt/option click closes other tabs. After years of Photoshop use, this is intuitive to me (shift to add to a selection, option to remove). And it works the same on the Mac & PC.
