As to "middle click" etc. Again, I'm not sure about how things are arranged in Ubuntu, but in standard X-windows usage you can use your three mouse-buttons[**] as follows:
And, unless I'm missing something really clever, this seems like a very protracted discussion of copy-and-paste? Surely when you select "Copy link location" in Firefox it just puts the link into your desktop environment's clipboard? And then you can just paste it into your terminal emulator? Or does xterm not play nicely with DE clipboards?
I was, a standard X11 version of copy and paste (the X11 clipboard only handles text - err, by default ;) - Copy link location puts the text in to the X11 clipboard *as well as* the desktop environment clipboard.
With Gnome terminal you can right click and use "paste" to get stuff out of the clipboard. Alternatively, Shift-Insert will also paste the content of the X11 clipboard...
For those without 3 button mice (no scroll wheel?! the wheel is a button...) then (usually) 3 button emulation is turned on and so clicking both the left and right buttons at the same time will do the job.
Hope that clears a few things up,
