Main Question or Discussion Point

When I press down the scroll wheel button on my mouse the web page redirects to apple.com. What is going on here?

Umm, on the ones at school when you press down Dashboard opens. I think its in the Mouse and Keyboard preferences.

Which browser? Could be you have defined some weird action for the middleclick.

Mozilla Firefox

Just a thought, but your middle mouse button opens your default web browser {Firefox} and the default home page is apple..??

- what type of mouse? {is it a new one or a cookie cutter dell mouse}
- is Apple.com your homepage if you just open FF?

It seems that I have resolved this by clearing out my private data, cookies, history, etc. My default page is google and it is a standard Sony Vaio mouse by the way.

wow, can't believe apple do that

Well it looks as though I did not fix the problem by clearing the temporary files. Any suggestions?
