First of all, this is by far my favourite Firefox addon and I've been a fan from the first release - thanks very much for creating it! :)

I have a quick question about background tabs. I currently have my browser set up so that a Fast Dial window opens as my homepage. What I like to do when I start up my browser is pick from a few of my favourite sites and let them load in the background while I read the first one.

With successive versions of Fast Dial this became harder (chasing the 'open in background' option through two menus in the last version was tricky, since I found the second menu had a tendency to vanish if I moved the mouse too quick ...), and now in this latest version it doesn't seem to be possible at all - I can set the 'Open in New Tab' option, but not for opening links in background tabs, and I have to keep switching back to Fast Dial to choose more sites.

I know that if I move all my tabs to a folder I can set them all to open in tabs at the same time, but I have a slower internet connection and don't want to load nine windows at once. I'd just like to choose a few favourites at random when I open my browser, like I used to. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing, or are there any plans to reintroduce a background tab functionality? Or am I the first and only person to actually care one way or the other about this issue? ;)

In any case, I fully intend to keep using Fast Dial, whether or not I have to exercise my mouse more than I used to ...
