Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
Build ID: 20160623154057

Steps to reproduce:

Verify about:config setting browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground=true

To prepare a bookmarks folder for testing, create a folder on the bookmark bar (right click bookmark bar area, New Folder)
Create several bookmarks and drag them into the folder.
Click on the new folder to display the bookmarks in the folder in a menu.

Ctrl-click on any entry will open a new tab in the background




Actual results:

When ctrl-clicking a bookmark in a folder drop menu, the drop menu is closed when the new tab is opened in the background.  To select multiple bookmarks from the list, it is necessary to relocate the folder and open it for each bookmark.  This can be especially tedious is multiple folder levels are involved.


Expected results:

When ctrl-clicking a bookmark in a folder drop menu, the drop menu should remain open so that additional bookmarks can be selected.
