How do you open new tabs in the foreground?

When opening links in a new tab, is there a way to get Firefox to open those tabs in the foreground like Opera can? The overwhelming majority of the time when I click on a link, I want to read it right away, without having to take any extra steps or have to go digging for it.

Thanks

Hi

I do not believe this is currently possible in Firefox for Android, but I recommend that you try Firefox Preview (available from the Google Play Store) which has some different tab management features.
