In 1.4 when opening grouped bookmarks, they woudl be appended to the other. In
1.5 they close those other, and there seems to be no way of reverting this to
old behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open 2-10 tabs
2.Group Bookmark them
3.Close them
4.Open few tabs
5.Open those tabs from 2.

Actual Results:  
Tabs form 4. were closed.


Expected Results:  
Tabs shoud be not closed. New tabs shoudl be appended.
This was changed intentionally. See bug 203960. You should be able to get back
your previously opened group of tabs by just hitting the Back button.

So this bug will probably end up INVALID or WONTFIX.

Dupe of Bug 208278 Loading group of tabs from bookmarks closes all other tabs
If you like the old behaviour, upgrade to 1.4.1, when it is coming, or download
a nightly:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.4.1/

This improvement of usability is caused by
Bug 203960 Make bookmark groups conditionally replace existing tabs instead of
appending

which didn´t implement the 'conditionally'
