Ah, yes.  I've done that plenty of times, but then you have to undo it
again afterwards.  Sometimes the simplest solution is to just have the
two windows side by side, without overlapping the bits you want to
read.  But that's really only practical on wide screens, or you end up
in a situation like trying to read a magazine though a keyhole.

It's a shame there isn't some *easy* way to open the link in the
background from an external app (such as your email client).  Within
Firefox, simply using the middle mouse button does that.
