Every time I open any bookmark in a new tab, it becomes the "selected" tab. Is there an addon that changes that so I can open various bookmarks in new tabs whithout switching my current tab?

Thanks!

You can set this pref to true on the about:config page:

  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
