The bug is still present in 8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3 version of
package. Fixed it by downgrading to 4.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 - that is the
newest version that is still works. Will you fix it or not?

Title:
  Firefox enforces middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I've upgraded my ubuntu and got firefox 7.0.1 I've unexpectedly
  lost the possibility to paste URLs directly into browser window. That
  possibility is more than very useful as I don't have to do lot of
  things - exactly to load some URL into current non-empty tab I have
  to: 1) select URL; 2) press Ctrl+C; 3) click on URL line in browser;
  4) select all in there; 5) press Ctrl+V; 6) press 'Enter'. With that
  possibility it's very-very simple: 1) select URL; 2) middle-click in
  browser window - yes, that's all. And now I cannot do that because
  config variable middlemouse.contentLoadURL changed it's default to
  false (and I think it's ubuntu-specific default, the same version
  7.0.1 in debian-testing have it true as it always been) and it's even
  worse - even when I open about:config and toggle it, it works as it
  should be but as soon I close firefox and start it again that value is
  reset to false again and that means I should set it manually each time
  I start firefox! I've fixed that weird bug by downgrading firefox to
  version from natty. Fix it back, please!
