Enable opening a single bookmark without closing bookmarks bar

[tyg1313k]

Sometimes one wants to open a few (but not all) bookmarks from a nested bookmark folder. It is tedious to navigate through all of their parent folders several times in a row.

It would be nice to be able to hold ctrl/cmd and click on a bookmark from the list, so that the bookmark opens but the popup with bookmarks is not closed. This way, one could click several times in a row without losing the context.

This feature exists in Chrome and works well.

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

Potentially related idea here: Keep bookmarks folder open when open in new tab (middle mouse button).

Thanks. Yes, that seems to be related. However, my suggestion is perhaps broader, since:
(1) Not always do we use a mouse - sometimes it's a touchpad. The presence of a keyboard is universal.
(2) Using ctrl/cmd in this context would make the target behavior akin to opening a link in a new window, i.e. not lose what you're looking at at the moment and still have that new tab.
