    New Tabs in Windows 10 Browsers Open in Background


    As known in Windows 10 new tabs now open in the background. This drives me nuts since I prefer the old way whereby clicking a link automatically opens and take you to the new tab in the forefront.


    Is there anyway to reset Firefox and Edge so that tabs open in the foreground as they once did?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Open in new TAB in IE. That new tab should load in background.

    It’s really annoying problem for years, acknowledged by most browsers, specially @Opera.

    Open in new TAB in IE. That new tab should load in background.

    Open in new tab is most of the times used for selecting articles to read while at the same time those “new tab articles” are loaded in the background.

    I hate seeing the same mistake at IE again.

    New Tabs in Windows 10 Browsers Open in Background

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
