 Please consider setting TBB's default 'middlemouse.contentLoadURL' (in
 about:config) from  'true' to 'false'.

 When copying and pasting personal URLs that could contain personally
 identifiable information or link to said information the default behavior
 of a privacy minded browser should focus toward privacy and security over
 the ease and convenience of a loading URLS with a single button click.
 This default behavior often occurs by mistake when missing a middle mouse
 click on a link (to open in a new tab).
