How do I get Thunderbird to switch to a new tab immediately like I can with Firefox?

Every time I open a new tab in Thunderbird, no matter how I do it (menu, double-click, etc) it opens the content in a new tab, but remains focused on the current tab. How do I get Thunderbird to immediately switch to a new tab when I open one? It's quite annoying to have to mouse back to the tab list and click on the new one every time. This is SO simple to configure in Firefox, but seems to be totally missing in Thunderbird. Weird.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

YOU ARE MY HERO!

Now for another rhetorical question:

Why does Thunderbird make this so hard, especially when Firefox makes it so easy?

Thanks again!

Because someone obviously didn't think it was important. In Firefox, the default should be to "switch immediately" and it should be default as well in T-Bird. Why would I open a link or an email, and not want it to display?

These kind of "overlooks" are why software is user-UNfriendly!

C'mon programmers---where's your thinking caps?
