Open a new tab with javascript but stay on current tab

Question

Is it possible to open a new tab in Firefox (in background) using `window.open("http://www.google.com")` function, and remain the current tab? Thanks for any help

Accepted Answer

You can't open tabs in the background using javascript because this is set in the user's preferences in `about:config`, which you have no control over. The setting is:

```
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground=true
```
