As far as I can recall, it's always worked in the second (annoying) fashion for me. Though I've been running Mate for many years, and am well out of touch with current Gnome's behaviour. Opening a series of links from a common source involves an annoying amount of extra clicking, or having each window only half-screen-width and not overlapping. stan: > I think this is a setting in the firefox settings. > edit -> settings -> General > and then look at the tabs section. > You probably have this setting selected; > When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it > immediately As far as I was aware, that would only change how clicking a link within the web-browser would work. I've always had that setting unset, and for me it only affects Firefox's internal behaviour. I would expect there's some option in a command line to make a link open in the background, but I see nothing in the man page, and nothing jumps out at me from Firefox's about:config. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
