I would vote to make this the default if other users and developers

You've got my vote for tabs opened in background.
I would also vote for the following defaults changes:
-- Open tabs instead of windows for --
[x] Midle-click, Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Enter on links in a Web page
[x] Ctrl+Enter in the Location bar
I think binding Ctrl+Mouse-wheel (Advanced / Mouse Wheel: Ctrl) to
"Zoom the page in or out" by default would be nice, too.
Would be nice, but the present-settings for menu-driven zoom-scaling,
and shrink to fit window, may make things a bit complex?
I'm not sure what complexity you're referring to. The menu/keyboard
zoom-scaling will continue to function as now. The Ctrl+Mouse-wheel
will be just another method to trigger it. This is what other main
stream browsers (e.g. Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, Internet
Explorer) have by default, and users switching from such a browser, or
just giving SeaMonkey a try may get confused as to why it doesn't
function in it, being unable to find the appropriate preference to set
- having the power to customize so much preferences have drawbacks
too, you know. That's why having this widely adopted method for page
zoom by default in SeaMonkey makes perfect sense for better SeaMonkey
acceptance, in my opinion.
I'm not disagreeing with you Stan. In fact, the lack of a
straightforward single-preference to open links in background-tabs is a
good-example of the complex-choices of preference-settings getting in
the road of a straight-forward single-preference-setting, but if the
multiple zoom options are in Firefox, perhaps there's a good chance it
will make it over to SeaMonkey?
