When I receive an email containing many links, I would like to be able to open each link first and then switch to the browser where there are multiple tabs open matching all the links from that email. Thunderbird is only allowing me to open each link and automatically switches to the browsers tab created for that link and then I have to go back to email to open the next link and it auto switches again in a new tab.

I want to open all the links first and then go to the browser and read each tab.

Thankyou.
