Flashgot randomly captures a webpage for download

Ever since I started using Firefox 4 I noticed that Flashget would randomly capture any webpage for download. It would ask me to download index.php, something.aspx anything really. I wasn't clicking any ALT or CTRL keys and I can't really find a pattern to it, it just seemed to do it now and then. When I disable the Flashgot add on this stops happening.

Tried re-installing the add-on as well and it didn't work. Any idea why this is happening?

It might be a problem with the middle button + mouse down gesture.
Please check whether it goes away if you set the flashgot.gesture [url=http://kb..org/About:config]about:config[/url] preference to false.

I do use the middle mouse button alot to open in new tabs. I'll let you know if this happens again or not.

Thanks for the help.
