When I click a link to open it in a tab window, is there any way that I can stay on the current page while the tab window opens and loads the page. Right now, FF opens the new tab window.

I believe this was how the previous version of FF worked but this new one doesn't do that.

Any ideas?

Use the middle mouse button? Mine doesn't switch focus to the new tab (using 1.0).

Try holding shift. Also look at the "Select new tabs opened from links" in the Advanced section of the options.
