Hi every time I click on a link the tab does not show up automatically. So I need to go back to the browser manually to land on the page linked to the link I clicked on.

Firefox is set as default browser.

I've checked the setting and "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is flagged. I've tried to switch to Chrome as default browser and I do not have the same issue.

Please advise on how to fix this since it is very annoying.

Thank you
