Finally, I’ve managed to enable middleclick on my macbook with triple tap. It works using a private osx api for using the macbook multitouch trackpad code and some middleclick code. Middleclick is really useful for all the Firefox junkie who loves to open in a new tab as it doesn’t require to use the keyboard (cmd+click is the default middleclick). MiddleClick should not interfere with the swipe gesture and you should not click the trackpad as it will send a click and middleclick at the same time!
Get MiddleClick (for Snow Leopard)! Enjoy & donate if it brings you joy =)

When visiting a webpage, your browser send the referer which is the URL of the previous webpage from which a link was followed. Some web sites log referers, for advertising or other purposes. Eventually you want to never send out the referer information to increase you privacy. It can be configured in firefox, but then it will cause problems: some sites disallow to download files if you don’t send them the referer (anti-leech feature).
Hopefully, you can now use Send Referer to answer to this problem !
Features
Allow to send referer header when openning a link with right-click menu . ( ie: to be able to download from a site with anti-leech feature)- Without referer header otherwise to increase your privacy
- CTRL+Click to open in a new tab, SHIFT+Click to open in a new window
How it Works
Browse the web as usual, except that your browser won’t send referer header. When you come across a link you can’t follow without referer, right click on it and use “Open Link with Referer Header”. Sending Referer Header will be enable for 7 seconds and then it will go back to no referer mode.
How to Install
Install Send Referer 0.3.3 (5 kB)
How to Test It
Click on Check your referrer or right click with “Open Link with Referer Header”
With a normal click you should see :

With a right click with “Open Link with Referer Header” you should see :

Some little scripts to modify the web behavior with the help of Greasemonkey, a Firefox extension. There is a popular Auto-login script and some more.
Where to get them?
Go to my userscript page to get any of them!
