How can I switch to new tabs when I click "open in a new tab" from the bookmarks bar?

When I open the tab from the bookmarks bar with the middle mouse button (or use the "open in a new tab"), Mozilla automatically switches me to the tab that opens. How to make that switching would not happen?

It helped! Thank you! When I open one tab from a folder in the bookmarks bar, the folder is closed. How do I open multiple tabs from a folder at a time?

Try:

  • browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu

You can alternatively use the bookmarks sidebar.
