On my new desktop I want to enable the feature that does the following.

I want to be able to view a webpage and then ctrl click or M3 click a link and I want the new link to open in a new tab but REMAIN on the current webpage.

I have unticked >When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately under settings already.

browser.tabs.loadInBackground under about:config is set to True.

I don't know to edit my original post. What I meant to say is I want to be able to ctrl click or M3 click a bookmark, without it changing me to the new tab. I want to stay on the current tab.
