Thread: Stop firefox from stealing focus?

Hi Guys,

I use Thunderbird as my RSS reader, I used to be able to just click all the links I wanted and have them open in Firefox tabs in the background. Lately Firefox decides to steal focus and pop up for each link. Very annoying! Anyone know what setting I boinked?

Thanks,
Danny

Sounds like you teased one of the Tab setting options!

Well.. You may want to check if you have enabled the 4th check box at this location:

Launch Firefox >> Tools >> Options >> Tabs >> 4th check box (should be unchecked by default if you didn't touch it).




The 4th option is:

When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately.


If it doesn't work, I may need more details..

Thanks man! That was the problem all is working right now.

My pleasure! Glad to know it worked.
