Before you say it, no "Switch to tab no more" doesn't solve my problem. Here's the deal, in a site, clicking the middle button now opens the tab without switching to it, which is ideal. My problem is, I typically use the Bookmarks toolbar feature, which has all of my favourite sites. I will typically middle click, or right click select "Open new tab" on this toolbar to navigate. The problem is, doing so ALWAYS switches to the newly opened tab. So say I want to open all of my email addresses in new table, I click them all, but each click sends me to that new page, no matter what the page I'm on. I'd love to be able to disable this, and thus load up a string of tabs first, and navigate once they've loaded, instead of seeing the White screen.
