[John McPherson <548866@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This setting is hard-coded in the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications add-on:

  $ grep middlemouse /usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/defaults/preferences/ubuntu-mods.js 
  pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", false); // setting to false disables pasting urls on to the page

This overrides any user-specified setting saved in
.mozilla/firefox/[profile]/prefs.js, but also overrides any setting
stored in user.js even though user.js is supposed to take precedence.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Whenever firefox is updated, the setting for
  middlemouse.contentLoadURL is forgotten in my profiles.

  To simulate this:

  0) go to "about:config" and set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to "true"
  1) close firefox
  2) remove .mozilla/firefox/[profile]/compatibility.ini
  3) open firefox
  4) observe setting has reverted to "false"
