I recently got a new laptop and installed Ubuntu MATE 24.04 on it. The laptop has no mouse buttons, just a touchpad and detects a left mouse click if you click to the left of it, a right mouse click if you click to the right and if you click in between the two, middle mouse button functionality occurs. Typically this is closing browser tabs in Firefox and generally driving me crazy. Is there any way to either disable middle mouse button functionality altogether or to reprogram it?

Some more involved way to remap mouse buttons is discussed above.

Have you considered replacing the touch pad with a mouse plugged into the USB port?
