When I right click on a link for a new tab, the new tab opens up and goes to it immediately, to where before, I would be able to stay on my current page. I've checked options and the box that disables this feature is unchecked.....is there any way to disable this feature?

If you use a touchpad, Middle-click (click both the left and the right buttons at the same time ) over the link and you won't switch to that page immediately and the same method applies to users using a mouse.

The "synchro-click" does not work on any PC I have tried it on (unfortunately).

Curiously, I partially fixed the problem by disabling the 'Open new window in new tab instead' option - partially, because new tabs open in the background for all websites... except this one!!!
