I am looking at houses several times a day as they come in on emails. I was hoping there was an alteration in the settings that when clicking on a link it opens that link in the browser, but I don't lose focus from Thunderbird. There could be a hundred emails with house details, and I need to go through them methodically. What would be great to do, is click on the link if interested in the house details and then delete the email. Leaving me opening the new email with more house details, whilst the browser stays in the background. When I have completed the emails, I look on my browser at the ones I found interesting. Is there such a setting or addon for this? I hope I have put this succinctly? Thanks for reading, hope there is an answer.

Thunderbird just send a message to open in browser. But the browser thinks you want to auto go the newly opened tab.

Set up the browser to open tab in background. In Firefox in address tab type: about:config it will say beware of dragons - but it's ok

look for this line: browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground set to true

Great!

What would be the solution for Chrome? I you go chrome://about/ you get a list of chrome url/settings. I have no idea where Chrome woud have this setting if at all. Further, some are not accessible to the end-user...
