Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable the Bookmarks Toolbar
2. Add a bookmark to the toolbar
3. Uncheck the "When i open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option
4. Middle click the bookmark in the toolbar


Actual results:

The link opened in a new tab, but focus switched to the new tab immediately.


Expected results:

The "switch immediately" option in the preferences should work for this instance.
I can reproduce this issue with latest Nightly on Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit.
