After clicking on an open tab, how to make the focus automatically go to the body of page?

Right now, clicking in an open tab and using arrow keys now moves through the open tabs. I liked the old versions where right after clicking in a tab you could directly go to navigate the page with the arrow keys. Is there a something I can change in about:config to change this behavior? Thanks in advanced.

Firefox should still set the focus the the browser area if you click a tab.
Only with very old browser versions you could set the focus to a tab by clicking a tab.

This behavior is likely caused by an extension.

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 or otherwise make changes.

EDIT: when I say clicking on a tab I mean a tab on the tab bar. Just wanted to clarify.

It turns out it was the theme I was using (rein 5.3.1); when I disabled it and went to the default theme the focus was automatically set to the body of the page instead of staying on the tab bar. Thanks for the answer!
