Hey, Here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Mouse%20shortcuts?s=Open+in+Background+Tab&as=s is shown that Command+left mouse click is opening in new tab in background. In Firefox 4 it doesn't work. Do you have any idea how to make it work?

Thanks.

Did you check for your extensions?

I've seen some extensions (New Tab Home, if I remember correctly) reported causing this problem.

Did you check the setting here:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Tabs: [ ] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

If that setting is correct then you may have an extension that is causing the problem.

I have this point unmarked. I checked options and it seems to be like more people than me have this problem.

It's called New Tab Homepage and it's here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

It's OK and fixed my problem with 90%. Before New Tab which I wanted to open in Background, was opening just after main Tab. Now New Tabs are opening in Background, but at the end...

But it's OK - like Safari.

Thanks man!
