Click multiple Bookmarks in a Folder

[clov17er]

Chrome has the option that I would like to see in Firefox.  If I click on a folder in my bookmark bar, and click on a bookmarked linked.  It opens that link, but I can't click and open multiple links without the mouse focusing on the opened tabs.

I should be able to open multiple links in a bookmarked folder without having to click each time on the folder and select a new link to open up.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

@clov17er : sounds like you want to middle-click on certain bookmarks in a folder, but have the tabs open in the background, rather than swap you to the new tab each-time?

If so, you can do this... but only in the "hidden settings" for some-reason, not the standard Settings.

Go to the URL bar and type about:config then press ENTER
Accept any warning shown
Search for browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu and set it to "false"
•  (this will keep a list of bookmarks open after a middle-click)
Search for browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground and set it to "true"
•  (this will prevent switching to a new tab after you middle-click a bookmark, or link on a web site)

Those two settings should achieve what you want, as I have set Firefox that way too.

@Jon : perhaps in about:preferences#tabsBrowsing in the regular settings, this could be added:
Open 'middle-click' links and bookmarks in background tabs
which would then set the values I mentioned above
