Is there a setting that allows firefox to follow redirects on inactive tabs?

I usually browse multiple pages at once. While one page is busy loading I like to switch tabs and read another page. The problem Ive recently encountered is that whenever there is a page redirect firefox will wait until the tab is active before following it.

For example sometimes when Im posting a message to a support forum (lets say forums.fedoraforum.org as just one specific example) it will submit my message and then try to redirect me back to the thread that I was posting to. I often switch tabs right after I click submit and expect the page to be loaded when I come back, but to my disdain firefox will wait until the tab is active before following the redirect, thus when I switch back it still has not even started loading the page yet.

I was hoping maybe there is an about:config setting or something that will allow firefox to follow these redirects while the tab is inactive?

A standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether it is caused by a custom setting or add-on.

First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Next, restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."

If redirects now work normally, you can assume that an add-on or custom setting is the culprit.
