I will be reading a page and want to highlight a word or phrase on the page and open it in a new tab for later perusal after I'm finished reading the page I'm on. I don't want to swap to the new tab until I select it.

Is this about doing a search via the right-click context menu?

You can set the Boolean pref browser.search.context.loadInBackground to true on the about:config page.

There are more prefs, accessible via the about:config page, to control the focus if you click a link.

  • browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links)
  • browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript)
  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (bookmarks and searchbar)

Yes, and that solved the problem. After the 4000th time of it tabbing me out of the article I was reading and having to tab back in it was getting annoying:) Thank You Cor-el!
