Description
Hi!
I see some script to change to the urlbar, I think this would be a worthy addition.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Even explicitly opening tab in the background, the urlbar results are closed and the bar is reset.
Describe the solution you'd like
When opening tabs in the background the urlbar and results should remain as they are, so I can open more results, etc.
Which would be the main point in opening them in the background in the first place.
Additional context
This feature Mozilla failed to implement for years (136445...), there's even a patch for it in a never bug they didn't bother to do anything with.
On a related note, I need to use modifiers like (ctrl+)shift+alt+enter, shift+middle-button, (ctrl+)shift+left-button to get things from the urlbar to open in a background tab, even if browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground is enabled. Which is pretty much a bug they didn't bother to fix. Maybe the script could also avoid forcing me to use clumsy and inconsistent modifiers as well, and just open in background via plain middle click and ctrl enter (or alt+enter as it once did).
