Extension summary

Enabling this extension will raise (or highlight or activate) a tab when it come into existence, for instance, when middle-clicking on a link. A user normally gets this behavior by shift-middle-clicking on a link. This replaces the default behavior of leaving the current tab above new tabs.

This extension requires no special permissions.

Version 1.0.1 fixes a bug wherein closing a tab opened with a middle-click could close the parent tab as well.

User reviews

This works beautifully. Middle click now opens a new tab and it's instantly in the foreground.
