Middle-Click to Open Firefox Links in a New Foreground Tab
It is common knowledge that middle-clicking on a link opens it in a new background tab, but pressing shift while middle-clicking opens it in a new foreground tab. This especially comes in handy when you've got dozens of tabs open and don't want to shuffle through all your tabs to find the one you just opened.
