Open BookMark with New Tab setting Option

[nuux14]

 I love when I click a bookmark that it opens to new tab because I don't want the open one to be overridden. Otherwise, I'll have to frequently right click on the bookmark or open a tab then the book mark.

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

There is a hidden setting for this. It would be great if it were made easier to discover and set. If you want to test it and see whether it does what you're looking for, here's how:

(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. Please keep in mind that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(B) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs and pause while the list is filtered

(C) Double-click the preference to switch the value from false to true

To open a bookmark in a new tab, you can click on it with the Ctrl key pressed (command on Mac), or just click with the mouse wheel.

Do the same to open a History item in a new tab.

In `about:config` set `browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs` to `true`

Now when you click on a bookmark it should open in a new tab.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, that works and does the job I need. The only thing I need now is how to open a new tab in an individual bookmark.

Open bookmark in new tab

It would be nice to be able to configure the bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar to automatically open in a new tab when you want.
