Workaround:

The real package responsible for this is "xul-ext-ubufox", the direct
descendant of "ubufox", the Ubuntu Firefox modifications. This is
responsible for adding extensions via apt and many other ubutifications
of Firefox. It can be safely removed.

But in case you prefer to keep it:
The file /usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/ubuntu-mods.js is the one that keeps that particular preference. In xul-ext-ubufox 0.9.1-0ubuntu0 from Natty is in line 18, where it forcibly resets middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.

So i just commented that line out and added one that set it to true:
pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", true);

Restart firefox and Bingo! it works again.

I'm looking for the preference that requires pasted links to be complete
URLs with "http://"; and all, which wasn't needed before, if you pasted
something it tried it's best to load it, but until then this is at least
something.

Title:
  middlemouse.contentLoadURL resets to false

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Every time I start Firefox 4, it resets the value of
  middlemouse.contentLoadURL, so I have to open about:config and
  manually change it for every session.  This is a recurrence of a bug
  that has occurred in previous versions.
