Open new link into new tab, I do NOT want to go to the new tab but stay on original. How can I do that?
When I open a link into a new tab, I want to stay on the original page and have the new tab open in the background. I do NOT want to go to the new tab immediately. How oo I do that?

There are extension that can cause this not to work properly.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
- Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
