When I right-click on my bookmarks and select Open in a New Tab, it switches automatically to it. I'd like to know how to disable that and avoid changing to newly opened tab. In my Settings I already have the "when you open a link...switch to it immediately" disabled. Thx

Hi, the steps to disable the screen switching to newly opened tab when right click open new tab as follow:

1. Enter 'about:config' in the search bar. 2. Click on the 'Accept the Risk and Continue' button. 3. Search for 'browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground'. 4. Click on the toggle icon of the search results. (from false to true)

Hope this helps. Best Regards!
