Also it's a good idea to avoid a window with the title
Program Manager

which is the desktop. Otherwise if there's nothing else open on the desktop it may ask you if you want to log off. :)

thx, but it works only if the window title is exactly "Mozilla Firefox", it puts tab names before it.

Add this line to the top of your script:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

It works now, but now middle-click in Firefox itself stopped functioning

Put a tilde character before the MButton like this
~MButton::

That prevents the program "eating" the hotkey.
