when I open or close a tab if feels like if the window focus where stuck somewhere on another window.

in order to interact with any element on the page I need to click on the browser again

this only happen when I open or close a tab using the mid button of my mouse.

everything if fine when I ctrl+click to open a new tab, same goes for ctrl+w and alt+f4

am I the only one with this issue?

Can you tell whether the focus is leaving Firefox altogether or is on some other part of the browser? Pressing Alt+spacebar and then n will minimize the active window. Was a Firefox window was active, or some other application?
