User reviews

I just now installed Tab-Activate V2, and it just immediately works (shifts focus to new tab as soon as link is opened in new tab)! What a pleasure! Thanks.

When opening a link in a new tab (middle click) from a subfolder of the bookmark toolbar, the bookmark menu is not closed.

Works as intended. Takes you to tab opened right after clicking on it with middle tutton.
