That would be controlled by an option in whatever browser you are using. Look through the browser menus and set the option you want. Thunderbird just hands it off to the browser and it is done.

You are talking about a browser issue, so this has nothing to do with Thunderbird, which is an email client. So this question should have asked in the 'Firefox' section, that is assuming you are talking about Firefox browser as you do not mention what browser you use.

However, if you use 'Firefox', then look here: In Firefox browser: 'Tools' > 'Options' > select 'General' under 'Tabs' section there should be the options to open in a new tab and also to switch to it immediately.
