Chrome Browser

Right click the link, open in new tab. How do I make the tab to display immediately? Normally any browser has this option, but I do not see it in Chrome. I would like this process done just with a mouse as it was in the Firefox and not using keyboard. Is this possible?

Reason, I was quite happy with Firefox for years, but latest update messed up a login into my newspaper.
Chrome seems just fine except the tab issues.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't use chrome so I went searching and found 2 options. Obviously I can't test them.
1. When you click, hold down the shift and control keys. That should switch the focus to the new tab immediately.
2. There is an addon called Tab activate which does this.

Please post back if either or both switch focus.
