When I open a link and instruct to open in a new tab , it switches me to that tab

I have under tools>options>tabs> unchecked "switch to new tab immediately" And it still switches to the new tab. I've searched for solutions and it's not the plug-ins or extensions, which I've disabled manually or started in safe mode.
It had worked briefly for a couple of days (unchecking the switch-to box), then it stopped working. I'm running OS 10.6.7 and I've tried repairing permissions. Any ideas?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
