I did a search on this, and found this link, https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/links-open-background-firefox-chrome/ Warning, it is old, but the setting still exists. It describes such links as diverted links, and there is a setting in the about:config for that. Mine is set to false, but still doesn't change the behavior for me. The caveat is that once this is set, according to the article, even links opened in the browser will be in the background. That's what I want, but someone else might not. browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground false If this doesn't work, trying safe-mode, /usr/bin/firefox --safe-mode to disable all addons to see if that is a cause. Or /usr/bin/firefox --new-instance --Profile-Manager to set up a completely new test profile. I also have my browser in its own workspace, so that might be why. And I am running X with lxqt or lxde, another big difference. Yet more, I'm running the latest alpha of firefox, nightly. All in all, I might not be a good candidate for investigating this. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
