The Request
How can I make the same meta keys between Firefox and Chrome do the same thing?
In my macOS, currently in my environment (<click> = "mouse left click on weblink"), the following "open new weblink in new tab" keyboard behavior is inconsistent between Firefox and Chrome.
Chrome
- open new-web-page tab in foreground:
cmd-shift-<click> - open new-web-page tab in background:
cmd-<click>
Firefox
- open new-web-page tab in foreground:
cmd-<click> - open new-web-page tab in background:
cmd-shift-<click>
It matters less which keyboard-shorcut-plus-click does which thing (although I'd prefer the cmd-<click> opens in _background); I at least want the behavior to be consistent between these 2 web-browsing apps.
My current versions
macos: 10.14.6
firefox: 76.0.1 (64-bit)
chrome: Version 81.0.4044.92 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Employing the following Firefox preferences settings achieved what I wanted. In particular: the annotation highlights the setting I unchecked that made things work on my system.
