When i open a link in a new tab, it is always shown in the background - but I want the requested page to show up in front of all other tabs. Is there any way to do that?

Hi Robertseetzen,

1. Open Firefox and click Tools > Options…  on the menu bar or Firefox > Options > Options.

2. Click Tabs on the top bar.

3. Check the box for When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately.

I hope this helps! :-)
