Firefox is set in Options to NOT change to the newly opened tab. However, when I open a new tab or open a new window which opens as a tab instead it is automatically switching me to that newly opened tab.

I am using the latest version of Firefox after having had to install a new motherboard on my system and reinstalling all my programs

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.
