Mouse wheel click opening bookmarks immiedietly switches to new tab
Up until today if I mouse wheel clicked a bookmark it would open it in a new tab a stay in the current one. Same as if I wheel clicked any other link. Now it switches to the new tab.
The "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option Options > Tabs is unchecked. If I wheel click any other link it opens a tab and doesn't switch. Only happens with bookmarks.

browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
Boolean
Focus behavior of new tabs from bookmarks & history
True: When you open a bookmark in a new tab then that tab will load in the background without taking focus from the current tab.
False (default): When you open a bookmark in a new tab then that tab will become the current tab.
Note: you likely want to set this to the same setting value as used in browser.tabs.loadInBackground (Bug 469456) Note: Firefox 1.0.x had a Tabs option for "Select New Tabs from Bookmarks or History"
Other such options are obsolete.

MClickFocusTab {web link} While using mouse middle-click to open new tabs, with a short- time clicking to open new tabs in background, with a long-time clicking to open new tabs in foreground.
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1.9.160

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Okay, I shouldn't have to install an add on for this to work. I just want to middle click a bookmark and have it open in a tab without switching to it. The same as it did before, without an add on. I don't want to have to remember to "long click" or whatever.
Thank you for the suggestion anyway.
Also I deleted those plug ins. But how did you know about that?
