Stop new tabs from being focused
On some websites (namely, twitter), middle clicking a post opens it in a new tab. However, whenever this happens, the new tab is always focused, is there a way to prevent this from happening?
This does not occur on websites such as Youtube.com, where middle clicking a video opens it in a new tab, but does not focus it. This is the preferred result.
Likewise, when middle clicking a bookmark, the newly created tab is also immediately focused. Is this preventable aswell?
Thank you for your time.

These prefs on the about:config page control whether links are opened with a left-click in the background or get focus.
- browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links)
- browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript and external links)
- browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (bookmarks)
- browser.search.context.loadInBackground (context menu: Search)
You can toggle the default action for opening a link in the background by holding down the Shift key when you use Ctrl plus left-click or middle-click a link.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue"to open about:config.
