Load Live Bookmarks in new tab

Asked by arky

When I select a item from the live bookmarks toolbar it should open in a new tab instead of the current tab. How do I set this behaviour?

If you right click on a bookmark, you can choose "Open in new tab"

Chris, Thanks for the reply. My question is how to make 'open in new tab' the default action.

I don't believe it is possible unless it is in the about:config - it
isn't in preferences that I found.

What about this perferences?

browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (Boolean). Setting this to false specifies that new tabs launched from bookmarks are to be loaded in the foreground, i.e. launching a bookmark in a new tab launches the link in a new tab and switches you to that tab. When set to true (recommended) the new tab is opened in the background, i.e. launching a bookmark in a new tab launches the link in a new tab but you remain in the current one.

browser.tabs.loadInBackground (Boolean). Setting this to false specifies that new tabs launched from links in pages are to be loaded in the foreground, i.e. middle clicking on a link and launches the link in a new tab and switches you to that tab. When set to true (recommended) the new tab is opened in the background, i.e. middle clicking on a link launches the link in a new tab but you remain in the current one. Note – This is the same as the When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately option in the Tabs menu.

That doesn't sound to me like it would work.. It just sounds like it changes whether or not you will be presented the new tab, or the new tab will go to the background, but you still have to right click to get a new tab.. I did come up with two other possibilities...

1) Middle click the mouse on the bookmark

2) Tab Mix Plus extension, or something similar.

Chris, I think I will have to use the middle click workaround for now, thanks
