I use Cyanogen’s rooted Android rom, so this may be something specific to the version of Browser I’m using now. Unfortunately, Google has recently changed its mobile News site so that long-pressing a link will do absolutely nothing (no context menu), so you have to press the link normally, and it’ll launch a foreground window even if you have specified for new links to open in the background normally.
