406703 - "Open All in Tabs" closes open tabs without prompting

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300198

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Andrew Havens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Clicking "Open all in tabs" from bookmarks menu opened the bookmarks that I requested, but caused my 3 or 4 tabs that I had open to close. Firefox did not prompt me to ask if I wanted to close those tabs (which it should have done).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a few tabs open with website that you don't want to lose
2. Alt+B, or click bookmarks
3. Open multiple bookmarks by clicking "open all in tabs"
4. Watch all your tabs close
5. Get mad and report the bug to Mozilla.


Expected Results:  
Open tabs in addition to tabs already open. At least prompt saying that Firefox is closing your tabs.

This behavior has changed in trunk (will become Firefox 3).  see bug 175124 comment 29
