Hello,
I am using Firefox on an Android tablet with a physical mouse, but I’ve noticed that mouse wheel button (middle click) actions are not supported.
On desktop browsers and most other Android web browsers (such as Chrome, Edge, and Samsung Internet), users can use the mouse wheel button for highly efficient tab management:

Middle-clicking a tab instantly closes that tab.
Middle-clicking a link opens it in a new tab in the background.

Currently, Firefox for Android does not respond to these wheel click inputs at all, which significantly hurts productivity when using a tablet as a primary workstation setup.
Since tablet users increasingly rely on standard desktop-like mouse and keyboard inputs, adding this feature would drastically improve the user experience and bring feature parity with other major Android browsers.
Please consider adding support for mouse wheel clicks in future Android updates. Thank you!
