Is it possible? Like, for example, you click a link on Discord then it open a new tab AND it makes it the active window.

It would be a bit like this config "browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external" set to "3" not for a window but for a tab + it would make this window the active one.

Hmm, I think normally the new tab gets the focus when it's an external link. I'm surprised yours doesn't do that, but then, I don't use Discord so I don't know whether it reasserts itself. Does the same problem happen with Adobe Acrobat or links in other external programs?

This happens with all external links yes. I've tested Adobe Acrobat, Slack, Windows Mail app, OBS and still the same problem.
