Open link in background tab
Hello!
I right click and choose to 'open link in browser' but I want it to do that in the background
I am not sure if this is addon-based or TB-based
how can I change it?
thanks!

Re: Open link in background tab
Do you mean you want it to open that page in Firefox but not bring the browser forward?
