If you have "New Tab" chosen as the behavior for external links (using the
Tabbed Browsing Preferences extension), opening a bookmark in a second window
opens a new tab in the first window.  It should open a new tab in the current
window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set "New Tab" as option for external links in Tabbed Browsing Options
2. start with one window that has multiple tabs open
3. open a second window
4. select a bookmark in this second window

Actual Results:  
new tab for the selected bookmark is created in the first window

Expected Results:  
open a new tab in the current window for the selected bookmark

Bugs in extensions should be reported to the extension developer, not in
Bugzilla (I think he uses threads in the Extensions forum at
http://forums.mozillazine.org/). Also, you are using a very old build of Firefox
in bug-reporting terms, and options for where to open external links is now
built into Firefox.
