Regular links are fine and open in the background but firefox automatically swapt tabs when I open bookmarks with ctrl+click. Can I edit this?
I often open 5 - 6 tabs at once from my bookmark bar, but Firefox swaps to them instantly. This doesn't happen when I open links from other websites.
This is the reason I swapped away from Firefox a few years ago and used Chrome.

Perfect answer. I have no idea why it wasn't set to true in the first place, though. Seems like if you can have an option to open links in the background, the same should go for bookmarks.
Thanks a lot!
