Nightly 84.0a1.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set the Bookmarks Menu preference to Only on New Tab.
  2. Open a link from Thunderbird.

Expected: Only the new page is displayed.

Actual: The new window is loaded with the Bookmarks Menu, and then the menu goes away.

The problem with this is 1) the distracting flash of the menu, and 2) since something appears and vanishes it can make the user think they missed something.
