I love middle-click-paste. I could live with Mozilla et al. disabling it by default providing they give you a way to re-enable it. However, I fear that this is just step 1 and then step 2 will be to completely remove support for it.
Yes, it's important to appeal to newbie users. But it's also important not to alienate long-time power users.

The problem is probably their non-native UI. Use standard widgets and you get all such features for free. But they replace them one-by-one. Why are the scrollbars so ugly? They are no longer system widgets, but something the browser draws. All form elements are also self implemented. The settings dialog is a HTML page (what a nightmare) and the about:config dialog that was a perfectly usable list box with all the shortcuts (you get for free by using a list box widget) you would expect. Now it is some HTML page bady reimplementing some of the functions. Try what the context menu on an item does ... it shows you a web page context menu instead of being related to the item.
