Two major issues for me with Firefox 4.0 Beta 9, all to do with tabs

When I click "Open link in a new tab", lets say when I'm reading an article in an online site, it opens to the right of the last tab, instead of opening immediately to the right of the tab I'm viewing. This behaviour is not consistent, for example if I'm inside a website and I click on a menu, then it will open the tab immediately to the right, as I like. Sometimes it will not.

What is consistent is that when I click on any of the bookmarks I've in my bookmarks toolbar the tab will steal focus and it opens at the very end. This is actually quite annoying, because sometimes I'm just opening the links I would to check later on and not at the very moment.

Thanks

Keazen oplossing

Try this: When you are in the window you wish to be "pinned", eg; not go away when you click elsewhere, right click on the tab representing that window, and click on "pin as App tab". Can also be abbreviated as alt-p WITHOUT hitting the tab, as long as you are inside the window you wish to preserve.

This appears to solve the "steal focus" issue, I hope it is useful to you wrt your problem.
