Hi there, I am using TB 45.5.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 and I am wondering if there is a way to stop TB from immediately switching to the browser when clicking on a hyperlink in an email. I have often several emails with hyperlinks and I would rather go through my emails first and then check all links in one go in the browser. Right now every click on a hyperlink pulls me out of TB.

Does anybody know where to change this? Thanks for your interest and help OakOak

This is not actually a Thunderbird question, but a browser issue, so you should really be asking this in the 'Firefox' forum (assuming you use firefox) as it is the browser taking the focus.

However, here is some help if you use the 'Mozilla Firefox' browser.

Type : about:config into the Firefox address bar and hit enter. you will get a warning to be careful :)

In the Search bar, type : diverted look for this line: browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground

By default, the value of this entry is false. To change it, double click on that line and it will toggle the value from 'false to 'true'. Restart Firefox .

Thank you Toad-Hall for the reply but this does not stop Firefox to open and come into the foreground and pull me out of TB. What I would like to have happen is when I click on a hyperlink in an email TB should send it to a browser but the browser should stay in the background instead of pushing into the foreground.
