The default when opening a new tab by middle-clicking on a link is to place the new tab in the background, leaving the focus on the old tab. This is controlled by the preference variable browser.tabs.loadInBackground, which has the default value "True". That is how my configuration is setup. In my test, I did not search on the new tab. I did not even select the new tab. Focus remained on the old tab. My question is whether, in this case, the position for searching on the old tab should be where the last search stopped or where I middle-clicked (where in the view window the last mouse action occurred). -- David E.
