As most Firefox users know, clicking the middle mouse button (or scrollwheel) on a link opens it in a new tab. Since I've been using a MacBook, whenever I don't have a mouse I've been using a 2 finger click to bring up the context menu then selecting "Open Link in New Tab". This is tedious, so today I started looking for a way to emulate the middle mouse button functionality with a 3 finger click. And after a little searching I found a neat little app that does exactly that.
Enter
MiddleClick. It's a lightweight little app that lets you use either a 3 Finger Click or a 3 Finger Tap to emulate the middle mouse button. And it works like a charm. Thanks clem!
To make it start automatically (since there's no Dock icon) you have to go to
System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and add it that way.

You can also use command-click to open tabs in a new window.
That requires two hands... and I'm lazy.
