Developer Tools Can't Open Links in Background Tab
Summary: Opening a file from the Network Developer Tools tab will always become the foreground tab.
Details:
- Firefox version: 77.0.1 (64-bit)
- OS Version: 10.15.4 (19E287)
I'm using the Developer Tools Network tab, and would like to quickly view the sources of multiple files. When you right click a file's URL you can Open In New Tab, but it will not open as a background tab. No combination of keys will do it, it should just be command+click.
Reproduction:
- Visit any website
- Press ⌘⌥E to open Network tab
- Reload page
- Right click anything in the File column
- File opens in new active tab no matter what

Hello, karl
Firstly, middle-click or control-click > Open Link in New Tab should still work.
Hope it helps you.

Hello karl,
Please read this instruction
I've tested this on Gmail, and I can confirm your issue, so I did some searching in Mozilla's public bug database. There is one filed 5 months ago, and it was determined to be a Google issue. They reached out to Google, who responded that "Our QA team can reproduce, we're tracking this internally..."
For now, middle-click or control-click > Open Link in New Tab should still work.
I hope resolve your problem then reply me back
Thank you.
