309621 - "Open in tabs" replaces all tabs already open.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 216346

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Derick Eisenhardt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

When there is more than one tab open already in Firefox, and then you do an
"open in tabs" from a bookmark folder it will get rid of any tabs you already
had open and only those tabs from your bookmarks will be present now. It should
not do this to any tabs already open except for the current tab in use, and if
middle clicked it should open them all in new additional tabs without affecting
current tabs as well, but that's a seperate bug probably ;)

I'm sure this has already been reported/suggested...but I couldn't find the
proper bug to add to, so if it is...sorry :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have more than one tab in use in Firefox
2.Goto bookmarks and use the "open in tabs" feature from a bookmark folder
3.Notice how the tabs you were already using are now gone.
