when i type an address i want to open in the bar and middle click it immediately switches to this new tab. i want the middle click to function like everywhere else and open a new tab but not switch. is this possible?

There might be an add-on that can do that, but I doubt it. Just change back to the original tab.

Separate Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 23.0.0.162 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2.202.635
