Yes i have it mapped to a thumb mouse button for other applications. And then im browsing firefox, i wanna switch to a tab on the left, the button bumps against the keyboard, tab gets closed.

AutoHotkey can detect which program is active and rebind keys independently for each

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation

Are you aware of ctl + shift + t to reopen a closed tab? You can hit it multiple times too. Totally fine if you prefer this solution, but this is a useful tip regardless!

Not saying it wasn't worth it, but some other options that might work:

  • bind middle mouse to an extension (e.g open lastpass)
  • buy a mouse that lets you change keybindings on the mouse instead

you cant bind middle mouse to anything in firefox, or in any browser I looked at. and I bound this button to middle mouse myself, it's used a lot in Blender and this is more comfortable than the default.
