Go to Options>tabs, and see if "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is checked or not

Reproducible for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110606 Firefox/7.0a1

The options "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked.

This is still happens on firefox 8. And firefox is the only browser with this behavior. Opera and chrome works as expected.

This is still happening for me. I'm in the process of seeing if I'll move back to FF after many years away and this behavior is inconsistent with every other browser I use. Is it possible for someone to investigate?
