Yes, I like to paste with the middle mouse button. That's not what I'm
talking about.

If I have the text "I love cookies" in the clipboard and I middle
click in the middle of a page (not on a link), then Opera tries to
open the page "http://I love cookies". If I do the same in Firefox, I
am presented with the quick-scroll button, that lets me scroll me
moving the mouse up and down.
