Is this still an issue? For me, after making a bookmark of http://www.redi.uklinux.net/sidebars/html40.html and making it load in the sidebar:

- left clicking on a link opens in current tab
- shift-left clicking on a link opens in a new window
- ctrl-left clicking on a link opens in a new tab in the background
- ctrl-shift-left clicking on a link opens in a new tab in the foreground

I should have mentioned in comment 1 that "When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately" was unchecked.

When it is checked:
- ctrl-left clicking on a link opens in a new tab in the foreground
- ctrl-shift-left clicking on a link opens in a new tab in the background
