Whenever I right click on a link to open it in a new tab or use the control+left click on a link, the current tab stays active and you have to manually select the new tab to see it. Is there a way to change that without using shift+left click to open a new window?

I know it is a minor inconvenience, but it would be nice if I could make that new tab active automaticly.

Thanks.
