Middle-click opens link in new tab and switches to it — how to stop the auto-switch?

When I middle-click a link in Firefox, it opens in a new tab, but it also switches me to that new tab immediately.

I’d prefer to stay on the current tab after middle-clicking, and just have the new tab open in the background just like google chrome does. Is there a setting to stop it from automatically switching?

Thanks!

Hi,
  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. Select the General panel and go to the Tabs section.
  3. Uncheck When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately.
For reference, see Tab preferences and settings.

That's for media only. I actually found the solution myself.
