Is there a way to open a new tab from a link by middle clicking, but not change the focus to that tab? I think my KM used to do that, but now doesn't. I'm using version 75.

Yes, using the m button is optional. The settings come from accel.cfg file in root/browser/settings folder.

# ----- Link Handling

# Middle-click links to new windows/tabs:
%ifplugin tabs
MButton = openLinkInNewTab
%else
MButton = openLinkInNewWindow
%endif

# Middle-click links to the background (instead of the above):
#%ifplugin tabs
#MButton = openLinkInBackgroundTab
#%else
#MButton = openLinkInBackground
#%endif

In your profile there is also a accel.cfg file which already had the code you want. The code is commented out. You would want to un-comment the code but not the description and save the file.

# Middle-click links to the background:
%ifplugin tabs
MButton = ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_BACKGROUNDTAB
%else
MButton = ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_BACKGROUND
%endif

Thank you!
Is there any way to do it on the fly by chance? There are some places where I want it, others where I don't. A keyboard shortcut would be great.

Another possibility:
Tools > Mouse accelerators > Firefox

That changes also a few other mouse-related shortcuts, but guess most people don't use those anyway or even prefer the FF ones, if they are already used to it:

Choose your own shortcut, then add it to accels.cfg in profile folder:
xxxx = rebarmenu(Mouse &Accelerators)

A little KM goodie, Rebarmenu can open any menu by shortcut or macro
Just important to add a &-sign before underlined characters.

That's perfect. Thanks. I only looked in the F2 Preferences.
