1. Use bookmarks menu to find a folder. Hover over the folder to expand it
2. Move your mouse to one of the bookmarks from the folder, then move it back
3. Middle-click the folder
Actual Results:  
The single bookmark you hovered in (2) opens in a new tab.

Expected Results:  
All bookmarks in folder open in tabs.

I've seen it first in 2007-10-31 build but otherwise I have no regression window yet, sorry :(

Works for me with

This bug is identical to bug 405776, which was fixed in bug 403263.

This indeed is fixed, although I could swear it got fixed only today.

Either way, I'll mark WFM.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
