Firefox is delaying loading pages ?

I noticed that when using the old Opera with Presto engine, that when one page was still loading images and i would open another page with another subforum of Anandtech, that the other page would not be delayed.

With firefox 39, i noticed that firefox delays loading the new window until the previous is fully loaded.
For example, when i open the a page from the Jesus Hume thread in ATOT, and load another subforum, firefox will delay the latest opened thread until the jesus hume page is opened.
Any one else noticed this behavior ?

Make sure you have the "Don’t load tabs until selected" unchecked.

Also I recommend this tweak:

If you want to open new tabs of links or bookmarks but don't want to lose the current active tab focus and just wanted to load the newly opened tabs aside for later viewing, then you need to type about:config in the Firefox/Pale Moon/Cyberfox/Waterfox address bar then agree to the warning message when given.


Next, copy paste the below code and change its value to True:

browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground

this will prevent focus from being stolen from the current tab

I checked :) I have it unchecked.

Is your tweak not the same as pushing the middle mouse button on a link ?
For me it opens pages in a new tab but the focus remains on the tab i am viewing.

With exception for bookmarks. I will try your tweak, thank you.

Meh, do you also have a tweak that opens up bookmarks in new tabs instead of the existing one i am viewing a webpage in ?

EDIT :

I just found out that a middle mouse button click on a bookmarks opens the bookmark in another tab.
