Yes. Do cmd-comma for preferences in safari. In the toolbar do vo-space on tabs. Check the box that says when a new tab or window opens, make it active. I think this may solve your issue. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified

Your advice is appreciated but if i did that (1) a sighted person would know business I don't need him/her to know and I might as well just go back to having a reader go through my mail and do my checks; and (2) I would never get things done because I usually don't have a sighted person around.
