Pressing Control+T or the "+" button next to tabs will open the new tab. However, I want the new tab to be automatically selected when it is generated. Right clicking links and Opening in new tab works fine.

Unless something has changed drastically in Firefox 5 beta, both Ctrl+t and the new tab button should switch to that tab immediately. Could one of your add-ons be changing the default behavior?

For me, it was caused by the Fox Tab add on. I disable it and the 'problem' goes away, enable it and it's back..

I guess Fox Tab (1.4.2b) is not (fully) compatible with Firefox 5 yet.
