(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[eric.lesbirel]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0

Steps to reproduce:

Right click in Folder panel to Open in New Tab

Actual results:

The New Tab Opens correctly but the Current you are on also changes to the New Tab value ie you end up with 2 Tabs the same

Expected results:

The Current Tab should remain as is - only the New Tab should hold the result from the Right click

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Menus' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hello eric.lesbirel,

Could you clarify exactly where you are right-clicking? When you say folder panel, do you mean the history or bookmarks sidebar? A screenshot would be very helpful, or a description of what steps you follow to open that panel.

Thanks!

Moving to Thunderbird. If this is not the correct component, please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.
