Steps to reproduce:
Click on a bookmark with the middle mouse button or use the context menu to open it in a new window.
Actual results:
The new window opens and the focus immediately shifts to it, making it inconvenient if you want to open multiple bookmarks at once.
Expected results:
The new window should open, but the focus should remain on the current tab, similar to how Firefox handles focus when opening links from a website.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This issue is reproducible in the latest versions of Nightly 132.0a1 and Firefox 130.0.1 on Windows 10 x64. I'm marking this as New, and now awaiting for the developer's feedback on this enhancement.

There is a browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground pref.
While I'd like to make behavior consistent, it is not as easy to invert behavior for millions of users.
