Nightly 84.0a1.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set the Bookmarks Menu preference to Only on New Tab.
  2. Open the attached file.
  3. Click the "Mozilla mozilla" link.
  4. Click the "Mozilla _blank" link.

Expected: Only the new pages are displayed.

Actual: In step 4 the new tab is loaded with the Bookmarks Menu toolbar, and then the toolbar goes away. This toolbar doesn't appear in the tab created in step 3.

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.
