Prevent form firefox to select/jump to new opened tab

boywithcamera

Hi Guys,


is there a way to prevent Firefox from immediately "jumping" to a new tab that's opening ? for example if I click on a link and it opens a new tab, firefox immediate jumps to the new tab and loads that window. is there a way that i can prevent Firefox from doing this so it stays on the current page but when I click a link it opens the link in a new tab WITHOUT opening the tab ?

thank you.

There are some prefs, accessible via the about:config page, to control the focus if you click a link (open link in background or foreground).

You can toggle the default action by holding the Shift key down when you left-click or middle-click a link.

  • browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links)
  • browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript)
  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (bookmarks)
  • browser.search.context.loadInBackground

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

that did the trick, thanks so much for the help.

You're welcome.
