No middle button on Logitech Revolution?

Just got this now, and i can't seem to find a way to assign any key to act like the middle button like on most other mouse. Usually I use the middle button to close or open a tab or link in Firefox/IE. Very useful, but how do you do that on this new Revolution?

Don't think you can... My friend's got one, and has had to get used to not using the middle button in Firefox

I actually found it by googleling !

In SetPoint, My Mouse, the tab for the Scroll wheel, Under "Logitech SmartShift Technology", uncheck "Allow Manual Shifting between modes", and go back to the first button page, you will notice #3 button is changed to "Do Nothing" and the task list is enabled, and "middle button" is on the list! Anyway, Logitech should probably add the "middle button" assignment for other buttons...

it works !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope it helps your friend
