when I am on a video, picture..., and right clicked and executed "OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB", I would STAY on the tab I am on and continue to "open" new tabs. That way, I could open lots of new tabs from the page I am on.

Now, it TRANSFERS ME TO THE TAB I JUST OPENED and I have to "go back".

What changed with rel 87.0? How can I go back to "staying on my tab" I am on? I don't see any "options".

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Thanks. But, not the solution I was looking for as it does open the tab but in a NEW WINDOW, not a new tab in the same window. It also makes toooo many new windows with only one tab in each new window. And it moves the cursor to the new window where it used to be where one wants it to stay where it was on the old window.

1. QUESTION, Is there is no way to get back this feature that requires an extra step? 2. Do you happen to know why the "Management" of Mozilla chooses to not disclose to us these changes at release time and we have to waste our time in discovering them, and finding a 'work-a-round'?

Hold down the <Shift> key. Then select Open New Tab.

It was weird. The SECOND command on the pull down was to open a Tab in a NEW window but the first was to open a new Tab in the same window.

I powered down, re-booted, restated Firefox and it started to work as intended.
