IE8 and wheel button

When i click the wheel button the page opens in a new tab but in the
background.
Is this normal?
Is there a way to have the new page open in the foreground?
Thanks

Thanks Robert,
I have looked for this "always switch" option but can't find it. Where
exactly is it located in IE8?
