alfvaenI've been using Firefox happily for a few months now. Love the tabbed browsing feature.
Except that I have trouble deciding whether or not, when I right-click on a link and select "Open In New Tab", I would rather it default to setting focus to the new tab, or to the original one. There's an option for it right there, and everything. But whichever one I select, I keep wishing it was the other one.
If I see a link in Wikipedia or someone's blog, and I think "Oh, that's interesting, I should check that one out," then I want to stay in the current tab and check out the new one when I'm finished. But sometimes I just want to go to a new page, but leave the old one available(e.g., when I go to my Livejournal and then open up a tab for my Friends page).
What I really want, I suppose, is to have both options on the right-click menu. Except that that would be unwieldy, and I already have enough trouble accidentally clicking on "open in new window"(which, quite frankly, I would rather disable entirely). It is Open Source, right? I could probably go and put in a feature request, if it really bugged me, right? Well, we'll see.
Also, I keep typing "right-lick". For the tongue-operated mouse, I suppose.
