FlashGot Bug

Post by BufferOverflow »

I have the Download Master installed, but I've disabled any integration with Firefox. No Download Master plugins installed, FlashGot only.
Sometimes happens that Download Master starts by itself, asking me of downloading about page. I was trying to find, how it happens.
I'm usually scroll using the middle mouse button. If I press the middle button on any link, and, holding it, move mouse to any other object, then release it, Download Master starts and ask me about downloading page on link.
Ex:
1) I'm opening board index -> FlashGot page ( http://forums.informaction.com/viewforum.php?f=2 )
2) Moving cursor to "FlashGot FAQ" link, and pressing the middle button.
3) Still holding the button, moving mouse to "FlashGot Development Build."
4) Releasing the middle button.
After that, Download Master starts with proposal to download "FlashGot FAQ" page. Bug is not always manifests itself. If FlashGot is disabled, bug disappears.
I have Firefox 11.0, win7 x64. Download autostart disabled

It's not a bug, but a feature.
You can disable it by setting the flashgot.gesture about:config preference to false.

Thanks.
Can you make it customizable from options menu in the next build? I hadn't heard before, that there are some hidden flashgot options
