1. In the address bar, paste the following, then press Enter:
about:config?filter=browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
2. To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled “I'll be careful, I promise!”.
3. In the search results, double-click “browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground” to set its value to “true”.

This report conflates two issues in one. The part about the menu closing is bug 260611. For that feature, you can try the Stay-Open Menu add-on.

No conflation as this report doesn't mention foreground/background issues and is unrelated to 331666. The setting was already in place.

The stay-open-menu addon resolves the issue for now, thanks.
