The "Open link in new tab" option doesn't automatically change to the new tab, but the new image option does. Is there any way to prevent this? FF 88.0.1, Win 10

Hi, this is currently not possible but will probably return in a future version.

  • 1706487 - "Open Image in New Tab" should load images in a background (rather than foreground) tab, like Chrome

There was originally going to be a big rant here, but that won't help anybody, so I'll just say Thank you. I hope this oversight is solved quickly.
