153329 - Bookmark group should clobber the current open page.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Karthik Sheka]

When you click on a bookmark group, it opens tabs for all the new pages, and
preserves the current page.  This breaks general principles: When you click on a
bookmark, you expect it to clobber the current web page, not preserve the page
and open up a new tab.

This behavior creeped in during the fix for bug 134800, and was discussed in
that bug. (See comment #7, #28 from that bug)

To Reproduce:
Start Mozilla. Click on a bookmark group which includes 5 bookmarks.  Notice
that the home page still exists, and is not clobbered.  There are a total of 6
open tabs.

Expected result:
The home page is clobbered, 4 new tabs are open (for a total of 5 tabs).
