Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 331666

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071022 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.8

Pressing middle-mouse on a web link opens the link in a new tab. The tab is opened in the brackground (not automatically switched to). If I press middle mouse on bookmarks, I expect the same to happen. It does in FF2, but in the FF3 nightly I tried it opens the tab and switches to the newly created tab automatically. Only for bookmarks opened this way - web links still work as I expect them to work.

Reproducible: Always

This is controlled by a different pref, which doesn't have UI (see bug 295098).

this bug is a dupe of 331666
