XF 1.4 Giving focus to custom tab on the navbar

[imthebest]

Following @Jake Bunce's guide located here I have created a new tab by placing the following code on the navigation template:

<li class="navTab {xen:if $extraTab.selected, 'selected', 'Popup PopupControl PopupClosed'}">
<a href="{xen:link 'find-new/posts'}" rel="nofollow" class="navLink">{xen:if $visitor.user_id, {xen:phrase new_posts}, {xen:phrase recent_posts}}</a>
</li>

However when I click on the tab it doesn't get the focus. Is it easy to give it the focus?

It requires an add-on to focus the tab.

This addon can work for your purposes:

Use a link-forum to create a tab and then enable tab selection for link-forums. Example here:
