Open tabs in background with middle click is standard. If you can't do that anymore, you have broken something in your profile. Try and reset it by going to preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts, and use the default Mouse setup
I highly recommend this extension for laptop users tho Open in background tab with longpress If you click a link for a short while, it's opened in a background tab. Ideal for laptops without middle click.
There are tons of other great extensions there too, like no ads etc. If they give you a warning about setting the userJS storage quoata, just copy the address opera:config something in the alert, paste it into the addressbar, and set the value to 500 and click save. Ads will now be blocked.
Why would you want to open a new tab with back and forward? Back and forward are for going back and forward in history.... Use the plus button to make a new tab or press Ctrl T
