Blogs and News-Feeds)
right-click in Preference_Name in about:config,

Boolean-value: true
Isn't that just the setting which is available in the GUI in the
preferences?

I'm subscribed to a feed in the SM 2.0 RSS reader. The link to the
original article appears in the header display area of the preview
pane. When I click it, I expect it to launch the link in a new browser
tab. Instead it simply loads in whichever browser tab had focus at the
time.
I've already set my tab browsing preferences to open links in new tabs
(from other applications as well as for new windows).

No, it's *Bug 517307*
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517307> - Some tabs opened
in background from middle clicks still focus the browser
which is a setting recently-developed by Neil and others, to enable
users to read through RSS-newsfeeds in "Blogs and News-Feeds",
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.
Without that setting, the OP gets their RSS-header-link opened in the
currently-focused-tab, but with that setting, the feeds will open in a
new-tab for each header-link that they click-on.
Coincidentally, when reading through long browser web-pages, one can
middle-click on interesting-links and have them open in background-tabs
for later-perusal, while you continue reading the full page.

I just tested it and browser.tabs.loadInBackground value is toggled when
changing that setting in the preferences under tabbed browsing.
So yes, they might have improved it, nevertheless it's unnecessary to go
to about:config to configure it manually, there's no new
configuration-capability beside the one in the GUI, which was my
question ;-)
