How do you prevent Windows from switching to the browser when you click a link in an Outlook email?
Before FF Quantum, TabMix Plus had settings that could let you click links in Outlook, which would cause FF to open the links in new tabs, but Windows would not *switch* to Firefox.
So if you had a newsletter with a lot of links, you could click all of them and FF would load them in the background. When you were ready you'd switch to FF yourself.
I'm running Quantum at work also, but clicking links does not immediately switch to FF. Where or what is that setting so I can change that behavior on my system at home?
I've attached a screenshot of my add-ons, but this behavior began well after all of these were installed. And no, at this point I don't recall exactly when this began and what change might have precipitated it.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hmm, I wonder why focus does not shift to Firefox right away. Mine does.
(After some experimentation)
Okay, it might be this:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste backg and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground preference to switch the value from false to true
What this does is avoid taking focus when a new window is diverted to a new tab in the last active window. This applies to links you click in Firefox AND apparently to links you click in other applications. Interesting!

disable all the addon and turn one on at time and go down the list so only one is running at any one time to see what is the cause. Usually file associations is what does the actions that you assigned the function to do or open with what Browser.

The browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground fixed it. I'd found the same option without the "Diverted" part, but this one took care of it. Thanks!
