Nightly will not allow "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately", any fixes for this?

Even though I check the box that is suppose to enable the new tab when I select "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" under Options/General/Tab it does not work. I have to open the new tab which it does ok, but then I have to click on it to be able to get to it.

Works for me in the current (39) Nightly build.

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
