[Bug 889059] [NEW] Firefox enforces middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.

[LStranger]

Public bug reported:

When I've upgraded my ubuntu and got firefox 7.0.1 I've unexpectedly
lost the possibility to paste URLs directly into browser window. That
possibility is more than very useful as I don't have to do lot of things
- exactly to load some URL into current non-empty tab I have to: 1)
select URL; 2) press Ctrl+C; 3) click on URL line in browser; 4) select
all in there; 5) press Ctrl+V; 6) press 'Enter'. With that possibility
it's very-very simple: 1) select URL; 2) middle-click in browser window
- yes, that's all. And now I cannot do that because config variable
middlemouse.contentLoadURL changed it's default to false (and I think
it's ubuntu-specific default, the same version 7.0.1 in debian-testing
have it true as it always been) and it's even worse - even when I open
about:config and toggle it, it works as it should be but as soon I close
firefox and start it again that value is reset to false again and that
means I should set it manually each time I start firefox! I've fixed
that weird bug by downgrading firefox to version from natty. Fix it
back, please!
