Hi, there is a hidden setting for this: (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk. ''More info on about:config:'' [[Configuration Editor for Firefox]]. ''The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.'' (2) In the search box in the page, type or paste '''inback''' and pause while the list is filtered -- Firefox should list several preferences containing "inBackground" (3) Double-click the '''browser.search.context.loadInBackground''' preference to switch the value from false to true In case you're curious what "Diverted" refers to in the "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" preference, this is when a link is targeted to a new window and Firefox sends it to a new tab instead.
