This is what's meant to happen. If you don't like it, don't middle click the folder.
->INVALID

Sorry, but I don´t think so.
If I click with the middle button in a folder bookmark in error, the program
could open 25, 30, 40 links and this will colapse the program.

If this is the default behaviour, I suggest a limit.

More opinions, please.

An arbitrary limit is unnecessary in nearly all cases, and would probably annoy
as many people as it would help.  If you don't want that to happen, nest the
bookmarks more.  This is longstanding behaviour and will not be changed.

OK

Then I suggest a warning dialog when the number of links open is more than 10/15
(or a user limit in preferences, for example).
