Hello FF/Moz Community,

I want to right-click on links and open them in a new tab (easy). BUT I want to stay on the original tab where I'm clicking the links. Currently when I right-click a link FF opens the new tab and I'm moved to active tab. The original tab is one or ten tabs to the left.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thank you.

Please go to ≡ -> Settings -> General and turn off When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately.
