If you _did_ open a blank tab, the first tab will be overwritten by the first tab from the group, while the open tabs from the group will open at the end of the tab list. You also lose the history information from the first tab that got overwritten. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0- make sure you have in your bookmark toolbar a group made by "Bookmark all tabs in group". 1- open several sites using tabs. 2- ctrl-t to open a new (blank) tab 3- select the "Open in tabs" from the bookmark toolbar where your put the group

In my experiments, the "open in tabs" command ALWAYS overwrites the pre-existing tabs, which in some cases could disturb browsing. Perhaps that command should ALWAYS create a new tab for every bookmark Ali Tokmen http://www.alishomepage.com

Seeing this with recent 0.9+ branch builds on windows. -open a few sites in tabs -Go to Bookmarks -Right click on one of the bookmark folders -Select Open in Tabs tested results: The bookmarks from the selected folder are opened in new tabs. All previously opened tabs are gone. expected results: The bookamrks from the selected folder are opened in new tabs but appended to any already open tabs.

whoa. When did we decide to change prefs? This was WONTFIXed a long time ago, why are we changing this at the last minute? This is a huge change that shouldn't be happening now.

Comment on attachment 156709 [details] [diff] [review] per my comment from #developers: ... <Mano> mconnor: (i wasn't here) why? <shaver> "because" <mconnor> Mano: a) "becuase" <shaver> "because shut up, that's why!" <mconnor> b) its way too late to make a huge UE change <shaver> haha ... I agree with shaver (i.e. removing review request).
