I would like to be able to open many tabs from a current page (say a search page
or a newsblog page) and not have to worry about tabbing back to the original
page.  Could there be an easy ui pref to set that behavior off?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open links in a new tab.

Actual Results:  Focus changes to the new tab

Expected Results:  checking some preference focus should either change or not
change to the new tab

This is already an option.

preferences/navigator/tabbed browsing/load links in the background

Um then there should be another bug "Invisible Tabbed Browsing subcategory in 
Navigator preferences" because I don't have a Tabbed browsing section in my 
preferences.
