Is there some configuration tweak that will enable me to right-click a link to bring up the context menu and choose "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Private Window" without losing focus on the current window, similar to the option in Tab Mix Plus for opening a link in a new tab without changing focus on the current tab?

I haven't had any luck with a google search. Closest I came was this:

Click on a link to open it in a new window/tab WITHOUT leaving the current page https://bytes.com/topic/javascript/answers/713128-click-link-open-new-window-tab-without-leaving-current-page

... but that had no solution.

Thanks, Jack

I don't know about that. But, you have a Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Version 0.9.19, Copyright 2006-2012 Veetle Inchttp://www.veetle.com/ Version 0.9.18, copyright 2006-2010 Veetle Inchttp://www.veetle.com/
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

They are two separate plugins that have two separate functions, not two versions of the same plugin.
