I have the setting: "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" disabled, but it still jumps to the new tabs when I open links in them.

How do I stay on the same page while opening links in other tabs? I have tried CTRL + LEFT-CLICK, CENTER-CLICK, and RIGHT-CLICK menu to open in new tab.

I just checked to make sure Firefox was up to date.

The right-click menu at least should work. You could check the following preference in about:config to make sure it is set to the default value of true. browser.tabs.loadInBackground

See whether the same happens if you restart Firefox in troubleshoot mode.

Does Ctrl+Shift+ left-click work as that toggles the opening in the background ?

These prefs on the about:config page control whether links are opened with a left-click in the background or get focus: You can toggle the default action for opening a link in the background by holding down the Shift key when you use Ctrl plus left-click or middle-click a link.
