What are you middle-clicking on?

I'm not sure what you mean by calling up windows -- is it canceling full screen and returning you to the regular display?

...Don't blame firefox for not using middle button as by default there is no real middle button for standard usage.

If you only use a two button mouse or a touchpad on laptop then You may have not used middle-click much to know of the uses in Firefox.

Some of the common uses of Middle-click in Firefox is opening links into a new tab or using middle-click to close the tab instead of using the X on tab.
