I have a page that has multiple links when I click one link it opens the new tab and loads the content which is good but when I click the another link it just leads the new content in the newly opened tab but do not take me to that tab automatically.

Would that not depend on how the page was coded. If it is not coded to open anew tab or new window it would not.

Please check by Copy/Paste about:preferences into the Address Bar then Enter. 3rd one down is Tabs, make sure that is setup as you want it.

If it is not working as intended try : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.1 with a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Please keep your Video Card Drivers Updated, very important. Thank You

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

No, This is not the code issue.. Same code works for Google chrome. No matter how many links I click that are coded to open as target="_blank" and each time google switches to the resultant tab but firefox do not. The issue is still not resolved. I have done all that you suggested.
