If I open a bookmark with the option "Open in New Tab" - might also happen with
the history - it not always works. I believe it doesn't work because I have
currently a page loading in the active tab.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a bookmark (or just a website) which needs some time for loading
2.During loading of that website open a bookmark with the option "Open in New Tab"
3.Sometimes now: no new tab occurs and nothing is loaded

Actual Results:  
Sometimes no new tab occurs and nothing is loaded

Expected Results:  
Open a new tab and load the expected bookmark

Do you still see this in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

I am having exactly the same problem. Right-click a bookmark, choose 'Open in
New tab' and nothing happens.

I'm running on the latest nightly from today. Same happens in safe mode.

Can this be changed status to New?

Just checked, middle-clicking the bookmarked item does open it in a new tab, but
not when right-clicking and choosing 'open in new tab'.

Also, the severity should be Major. This is a major broken feature.

FWIW, the first issue works for me in 1.0.6. The issue that Max mentioned is a
bug 305833.
