Hi,

since the beginning of using SM (after Netscape Suite), when I simply
clicked a link from in the SM mail program, it would open the link in a
new tab from an existing window, and the browser program would NOT be
placed in the foreground, but nicely stay in background too, so I
didn't
have to switch back to the SM mail program every time to open
another link.

I didn't even have to use the RIGHT CLICK option, just click left once
and go.....

Any suggestions on how to do that in SM 2.0?

Thanks, DJ.

I think what you are looking for is:

Edit|Preferences|Browser|Tabbed Browser|Link open behavior& Links from
other applictions|A new tab in the current window

Yes, but that will still open a foreground tab rather then keeping the
browser component in the background.

From here, if I middle click the link, it opens in a new tab in the
browser, with the browser still staying in the background. I honestly
don't remember if I had to do any particular tweaks to get it to do
that, so far as I recall, it just has.

right-click in Preference_Name in about:config,
select: /New/Boolean
edit in Preference-name: browser.tabs.loadInBackground;
Boolean-value: true


hi BEG,

thanks, did that, still opens in foreground..... even after restart SM.

Maybe a bug?

Dirk, my bad..
The background-preference is a negative-preference found in toolbar-menu "Edit / Preferences / Browser / Tabbed-Browser / deselect (Switch to new tabs opened from links_ middle-click)" The above works in conjunction with the tab-settings NoOp mentioned, to-be-set further down that Tabbed-Browser panel.

My bad...
The preference I erroneously-quoted, enables you to go through RSS-newsfeeds in "Blogs and Headers", middle-clicking on the more-interesting RSS header-URLs, and have them open-in a group of unraised-browser-background-tabs, that you can later read at your leisure, or if they are real-interesting, you could archive/save them as a group-of-tabs, under Bookmarks.

"about:config" option ~ "browser.tabs.loadInBackground", when set to
"true", enables a selection of interesting RSS Live-Header-Tabs to be loaded in browser-background-Tabs, for later perusal and viewing. (For-example, Blogs and Headers)
