Whether this option is ticked or un-ticked, command+clicking a link will open the link in a new tab and immediately switch to it.

Is it possible to change this behavior so that command+clicking on a link will open the link in a new tab in the background?

Did you try to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting?

Does holding down the Shift key in addition (i.e. Command + Shift and a left-click) has any effect?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
