When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?
I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

Put the checkmark back into Tool > Options > Tabs > When opening a new tab switch to it immediately
That option switches the Ctrl+click and Ctrl+Shift+click
Should be effective immediately upon change.
If that is not the solution then you probably have an errant extension that is messing with the settings,
or you have an entry in a user created user.js file in your profile to prevent others with tampering with the about:config file in which case the change would work immediately but would reset when you restart Firefox.

That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
1. Goto http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm
2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.
