I have deliberately used this sometimes. but it's been very annoying when a
middle 
click misses the link (the mouse action on one computer is a bit laggy, so the 
mouse often misses, whereupon mouse movement rapidly scrolls page instead of 
opening link. obviously i need to find the firefox pref that disables this
feaure  :-)  )


>> This is supported by Opera for Windows.

just tried it. following the middle click in whitespace, the scroll speed and
direction 
varies depending on (logical) direction of mouse nudges. works nicely, imo.
