174332 - Open a bookmark folder in Tabs replaces all existing tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 173406

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Marc Boullet]

20021013 NT4

Previously, right click->Open in Tabs to a bookmark folder in the PTB was adding
tabs to the existing ones. 

Now it is replacing the existing tabs.
This is not the good behaviour. If you have two folders in the PTB, you never
can open both of them in tabs.

Though there has been lengthy discussions about tab replacement and I agree that
it could be useful (e.g. resetting all your startup tabs), it should not be the
default behaviour.

A good solution could be:
 In the context menu when you right click a bookmark folder, have two entries
   1. Open in Tabs: Add
   2. Open in Tabs: Replace

Marc, go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Tabbed Browsing, you have an option
to tweak this behaviour.

[Marc Boullet]

Right you are.
Resolving as invalid

Comment 3

[Marc Boullet]

Reopening since the preference doesn't work at all and is not persistent
over browser session.

Comment 4

[André Dahlqvist]

Works fine here with a build from 20021015 on Linux. The setting is also
remembered over sessions.
