I also wish that the default were more sane upstream.
Unfortunately it's not currently.

Disabling middlemouse.contentLoadURL brings the
interface more in line with what new users will
expect. It is easy to enable for the advanced users
that do want it enabled and impossible to disable for
the simple users that will find it troubling. My vote
is definately to have it disabled by default. It's one
of the few things that I would have to adjust on
Ubuntu to make the user interface sane.

It seems that all replies to this thread have been for
setting middlemouse.contentLoadURL to disabled by
default. Is there anyone that objects? Do we need more
of a consensus?
