+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #480632 +++
Even though the pref to open tabs in background doesn't affect double clicking I really think it should be named like the firefox one.
Besides, it's now named mail.contextMenuBackgroundTabs but also affects middle click. mail.tabs.loadInBackground seems like a better name.
This patch changes that, and also allows the user to override default for context/middle click with the shift key. (Like firefox does.)

Is there any documentation about this??
How does it work?
And why does the pref not affect double-clicking?
See bug 701500.

If you set mail.tabs.loadInBackground false tabs are loaded in the foreground by default. Holding shift while clicking lets you do the opposite as the pref, on a per click basis.
Re double-click, it's just designed that way - see bug 480632 comment 11.

Well, "by default" is not really true given that all the magic only works from context menu or middle click, but not for Enter, double-click, message menu Open, or Ctrl+O.

I'll have to let that sink in, play with it and think a bit more before commenting, but my immediate impression about this pref and its context-menu-limited experience is *confusion*!
Besides, Shift on context menu is undocumented in (1) and (2), and middleclick should be documented in (1).
