Make new tab active on click

Hello: iOS 12.0.1, FF 14 12646. Does ipad FF have the ability to make a link the active tab on "click"? Say there's a link in a search result window, I hit the link, and a tab opens at screen top. But it is NOT active. No matter what the FF version, I've never seen this common feature on a computer OS available on iPad. I have to hit the tab to make it active. This is counterintuitive. This feature does work (as it should in FF) in Safari iOS. FF iOS also doesn't seem to have add-ons, where I could add this feature - is there one (add-ons, make tab active on click)? Thanks.

Hi linusr, I don't think there is a way. You can send an email to firefox-ios-feedback@mozilla.com to submit a request where our engineers can review it.
