What sense does it make to open a link in Firefox in a new tab if you don't switch to it? Mostly a link is a additional explanation to the current article. And I want to read this explanation before I go on with the current article. In Firefox I therefore use mouse button 4 to open a link in a new tab (same as middle mouse button, but easier to click) and button 5 to close the current tab. This way it is very easy to go down a tree of links and the back up with only two mouse buttons.
