In Firefox 13 tabs aren't opening in background anymore

After upgrading to Firefox 13, URLs that are opened from another application like Liferea (RSS-Reader for Linux) are not appearing in the background anymore, but in the foreground and therfore Firefox is focused. In Firefox 12 they used to stay in the background.

How do I restore the previous behaviour?

In the Preferences menu, select "Tabs" and make sure that :

- When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately

Is unchecked.

Let me know if that helps.

This seems to help:

In "about:config" change "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" to "true"
