How do you stop Outlook 2013 instantly jumping to a web page if you click a link in an email?

Hi All, I like to go through all my emails first, clicking on links to open the desired webpages, which I like to read later. However, for every link I click, Outlook 2013 leaps to the Mozilla website page/tab, which is very annoying. I would like the web pages / links to open in the background, not immediately, as I like to read them all later, after I finish with all my emails. I cant find anything in Outlook 2013 Options or in Mozilla Options. I would be THRILLED if someone knows how to do disable the immediate switching to the web page. Someone else had this problem with Gmail here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1054179 but I didnt understand well where to find the solution, although that person managed to fix the problem. If any one could give me simple clear instrustions as to how to do this I would be eternally grateful. Huge thanks.

if your default browser was i.e. or some other, you would get the same scenario.

therefore, this is not a problem with firefox.

instead pose this question to the outlook people on microsoft answers.
