I have "select new tabs opened from bookmarks or history" but it doesn't work.
I can do this by just clicking on a bookmark or 

I selected "Open in tabs" for a subfolder of my bookmarks and it replaced all
existing open tabs with the ones I specified. So this is fine when you first
open the browser, but not if you have loads of open tabs already.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open some tabs
2. Select "Open in tabs" for any subfolder of your bookmarks, or just click on a
bookmark.
3. Observe that your original ones are gone

Actual Results:  
All bookmarks successfully opened, but I lost my existing open ones.

Expected Results:  
Left the open tabs as they are and added new ones for my bookmarks.
