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.
