For example: I have Firefox and Terminal running. I left click on Terminal, and that windows is highlighted and the 'Terminal' menu is visible. Stuff I type goes into terminal.
If I now left click on some hyperlink in Firefox then what happens is that the Firefox window becomes highlight and the Firefox menu becomes visible. The link isn't followed until a second left click.
If on the other hand I'd middle-clicked on that link then Firefox opens a new tab for it - but the things described above for a left click don't happen.
If my description is a bit inaccurate, well, it's describing something that's rather crazy l-)
