I think it is kind of odd to have to use the middle mouse button to click AdBlock Plus on and off.
A lot of people don’t even have a middle mouse button.

This isn’t supposed to be a function you use often – but anyway, see http://adblockplus.org/en/preferences#defaulttoolbaraction

You don’t ‘have to’ click the middle mouse button to enable/disable Adblock Plus.. you can right click and then click ‘enable Adblock Plus’..to toggle it just like the middle mouse click. It’s just a click shorter to use the middle mouse button (with one click), if you have a means to use that method.
