Interesting Firefox shortcut

I may be the last person in the world who knew about this shortcut, but I've just discovered (quite by accident) that pressing my scroll wheel on my mouse while over a hyperlink will open that link in a new tab.

So now I only have one click instead of the right-clik, "open in new tab" option. Think of the hundreds of calories I'll save ever year!
 
hehe, i thought that was common knowledge. Basicly every browser(save MIE) does that.
 
I didn't know it :)

This may sound like a stupid question, but what's the shortcut key to navigate between tabs?
 
Occasionally after a mouse click, my monitor sproutes a small double headed arrow in a circle. When this happens, the screen is apt to start scrolling unexpectedly.
Turned out to be the result of clicking the wheel by mistake. Very annoying.

Hi.

With Firefox this happens if "Middle Button scrolling" is enabled.

From Tools->Extensions->All-In-One-Gesture)
Disable: "Middle button scrolling" to deactivate the screen scrolling.
