266740 - Opening a tab bookmark group now brings to front.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261517

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927

If the user pref is "Add Tabs", and you open a bookmark group, the first tab
will steals the focus and go to the foreground. This behavior should only happen
if the user pref is "Replace Existing tabs". 

It also slows down the closing of the current tab you're in (if you want to do
that). Before, you could load the tabs in the background, then click on the tab
[x] button to close the current. It was a single operation. Now you have to
reselect the tab you were in, and click the tab [x] button. It's two steps now.

I think the new behavior should be disabled if the user pref if "Add Tabs."



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set user pref for tabbed browsing top "Add Tabs"
2. Open a bookmark group



Actual Results:  
First tab goes to foreground.

Expected Results:  
Current tab should remain in foreground, first tab of bookmark group should load
in background.
