Firefox or Internet Explorer opening two tabs, closing tabs when selecting

Tonight I had a problem where Firefox and Internet Explorer had the following symptoms on my desktop:

Opening two tabs when I clicked for a new one

Closing a tab when was trying to select it

The scroll cursor would appear when i clicked in the middle of a page.

 

Solution: I used a different mouse because mine was dying and making a middle click when I left and right clicked. The problem is now gone. I read where other people had this problem on a laptop and it was an issue with their touchpad. They could use a USB mouse to fix this.

"From "The Master Key," a short story for boys that augured the invention of the taser, personal force fields (rather like "Dune"), a PDA with a Google-like database and live video streams"
