[Feature Request] Configuration option to open redirect tabs in the background

[jve-engineering]

Can you please add an option to control the behavior of how the new tab opens on a redirect action?
The current implementation always opens the new tab at the very end of the list and changes the focus directly to the new tab.
This interrupts the reading flow, e.g. if in a longer article links to background material are embedded, which one would like to read only afterwards.

It would be good if there was a way to set the behavior as the Firefox browser itself offers it:
browser.tabs.loadInBackground
browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

At least the first point "load in background" should be technically possible, e.g. the "Web Archives" addon has such an option.

Are you talking the Context Menu?

Hello @ManeraKai and thank you for your feedback. Yes, I usually use the entry in the Context Menu to open such links. I'm not sure if it makes sense for consistency reasons to make e.g. the active parameter configurable for all browser.tabs.create() calls, so that all new tabs behave identically.

I think I'll make it simply as another menu option bc it's a confusing setting.
