Hi, first of all thanks to the firefox team for such a innovative product, without this browser my day is incomplete. I have a query, when we use Alt+Ctrl+T to open a link in a new tab the focus also moves to the target new tab. Is there any shortcut/feature where in the focus remains in the source tab even though the link is opened in the new tab. It would be really helpful for people like me who do a lot of reading over the internet.

Tools > Options > Tabs: [ ] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

This issue can be caused by an extension.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
