Build ID: 2005-08-14-05, Windows XP SeaMonkey trunk.

Summary: rename/rework tab pref for browser.tabs.loadInBackground

Currently, we have:

"Select new tabs opened from links" for the pref
'browser.tabs.loadInBackground', which isn't very intuitive (at least for Chris
Thomas and me).

Chris's suggestion is the following:

[00:00] <CTho> or maybe a radio button
[00:01] <CTho> When I open a link in a new tab:
[00:01] <CTho>   [o] switch to the new tab
[00:01] <CTho>   [o] stay on the current tab

IMO, in most situations where binary states are symbolized in a GUI, having
radio buttons is just ugly and unnecessary. That's what checkboxes are for:
either you want this setting or you don't! 
I do agree that the checkbox label could be better worded, though. ;-)
