Describe the issue you encountered:
When "Switch to new tabs immediately" setting has been selected, middle clicking on a bookmark link opens a new tab in the background.

Expected behavior:
The new tab should open in the foreground, like with right clicking and selecting "Open Link in New Tab".

  • Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?): Windows 7, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Brave Version: 0.11.5
  • Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to settings and turn on "Switch to new tabs immediately";
    2. Middle click on a link in the bookmarks toolbar;
    3. New tab opens in the background, not foreground.
  • Screenshot if needed:

If SWITCH_TO_NEW_TABS is truthy (or if Shift key is pressed: this is the
current behavior)

Auditors: Unsure what to fill in here

Test Plan:
  - Simulate middle clicking a bookmark item
  - Check that a new foreground tab is opened with the same URL as that of the
  bookmark (or just check that if such an event is fired if a URL check is not
  feasible)

Fix brave#3207.
