Switched to new tab when opening image from code in Inspector in new tab

I want to open links in a new tab without being diverted instantly to that new tab. In settings, I disabled the option “When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately”. Normal links in Firefox behave like that, all well. Images open as well in a new tab without switching to that tab.

But, when I am working in Firefox Inspector, in the code. I want to open an image’s link as well in a new tab, without switching to that tab instantly. And that’s where it fails: it has me switching to that new opened tab.

I tried to change in about:config the option “browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground” to “true”, (was: false). But apparently this doesn’t work for links in the code in Inspector. Could someone shed some light about this case, please? TIA!
