Aha, yes that's the defau;t setting on my Firefox. One further
question: is there a way to have the middle button click action also
switch focus to the new tab? On my Firefox, at least, the new tab is
created, but focus remains with the source tab, and the effect, unless
you look carefully at the tabs row, is as though the middle click had
been ignored.
