When I click the right mouse button on a link and open a new tab the new
tab is shown and I have to click in the tabs bar to see the page where I
started from. The new behaviour is awfull.

I found the solution in the setting few seconds after my posting.
Therefore I canceled my posting.
Befoe I tried browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground=false but it didn't
help.

You have to be pretty quick to cancel at news.individual.net. I don't
know if they have a published time, and I've never contacted them to
ask, but I don't think it's more than a couple of minutes.

On all browsers I ever used I switched exactly to this behaviour. It is
intuitive and logical that I want to see the page/tab I open intentionally.

When I have a page of a newspaper or a news ticker I prefer first
selecting the articles I'm interested. When I'm finished selecting I
read the articles.

I'm having trouble getting my head around the OP's problem here.

With Ffox 118.0.1, that whole *browser.tabs.load...* group set *by
default* seem to generate what the OP wants.

However, as I have <browser.tabs.loadInBackground> (not the setting
invoking *Bookmarks*) changed to *true*, I achieve immediate focus on
the content of a new tab, which is my preference.

One of the OP's original settings must have been non-default.

This has the advantage that if there is a list of links, like from a
google search, or a newsletter with a series of articles, you can go
down the list opening all of them and they will be in the order you
opened them. -- If you have it set the other way, you have to click
back to the list after each new tab opens, plus they end up in right to
left order instead of the opposite.

But is it not true that when it loads in background, it unloads those
same pages when focus is not on them, and to look at them again, you
have to wait after the tab get s focus while each one loads again? At
least if you have used some percent of memory or more?

I developed the habit of opening multiple search result tabs in the
background when bandwidth was more scarce, so various pages could be
churning in the background and I could return to them to see what
answers I'd got.

Yes, background tabs nowadays don't get the same attention as foreground
tabs, for good reasons.

So if I ever got rid of most of my tabs, OR I got a new laptop bwith
16Gigs or 32Gigs of RAM, is it so that I could change that setting and
once the tab was loaded, it would stay loaded and be right there when I
went to it?>>>
