Middle-click opens link in new tab and switches to it — how to stop the auto-switch?
When I middle-click a link in Firefox, it opens in a new tab, but it also switches me to that new tab immediately.
I’d prefer to stay on the current tab after middle-clicking, and just have the new tab open in the background just like google chrome does. Is there a setting to stop it from automatically switching?
Thanks!

Hi,For reference, see Tab preferences and settings.
- Click the menu button
and select Settings.
- Select the General panel and go to the Tabs section.
- Uncheck When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately.
That's for media only. I actually found the solution myself.
