To open a link of a website in the background tab is CTRL+click, why is it that to open a bookmark of the bookmark toolbar in the background tab is CTRL+shift+click. It is confusing! A bookmark is a link! For comparison, both of them are CTRL + click in chromium. BTW, there is no explanation in advanced configuration preferences.

These prefs in about:config control whether links opened with a left-click open in the background or get focus: You can toggle the default action for opening a link in the background by holding down the Shift key when you hold Ctrl plus left-click or middle-click a link.
