139853 - Right-clicking on items (esp. bookmarks) in personal toolbar should have "open in new tab" option

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 103834

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Currently, right-clicking on a bookmark in the personal toolbar gives a context
menu with options like "open" and "open in new window", but not "open in new
tab". Surely any menu giving "open in new window" as an option should also give
"open in new tab" as an option. 

I think this should apply to more than just bookmarks. For example, if I want to
open my homepage in a new tab, I should be able to right click on the home icon
and select "open in new tab".

There are a number of issues already relating to opening bookmarks in new tabs,
but I believe this is not a duplicate of them, because they seem to be about
bookmarks in the bookmark menu or bookmark manager, not in the personal toolbar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right-click on bookmark in the personal toolbar
2.
3.

Actual Results:  No "Open in new tab" item in context menu

Expected Results:  "Open in new tab" item in context menu
