Open link in new tab and switch to it

Reported by jidanni@gmail.com, May 26 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
By long tapping one can open a link in a new tab, but one cannot switch to it in the same step.

What is the expected behavior?
 the Firefox app has a question at the bottom to switch to the new tab.

What went wrong?
 doesn't even offer a menu item to open a link in a new tab and switch to it.

Did this work before? N/A

or add option to open all tabs in foreground (a simple option in flags)

That could be an additional feature we can look into. I think the current behavior as default makes sense as it allows users to open multiple links in background sequentially. However, I'm also open to having a shortcut to accessing the recently opened tab. +cleer

Actually currently the new tab created slowly sinks down and disappears. The whole process takes about half a second unfortunately not enough time for the user to tap it to switch that tab. 

Comment 6 by jidanni@gmail.com, Dec 31 2017

 therefore perhaps make the whole process 2 seconds long instead of half a second

 that way the user will have enough time to tap the new tab before it fully receeds below the horizon

And thus switch to the new tab.
