Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 395024

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Joey Connick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121120 Firefox/3.0b2

In Firefox 3 Beta 1 and Beta 2, even if you have browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace set to "false", using the "open all in tabs" command on a group of bookmarks loads the first tab in your current tab and then inserts the remaining new tabs to the right of that existing, overwritten tab.

Previously in Firefox 2 with browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace set to "false", using "open all in tabs" would insert the new tabs at the end (i.e. to the right) of all the existing tabs and none of your existing tabs would be overwritten.

The FF2 behaviour should be restored.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace to "false"
2. Open some tabs
3. Select a tab
4. Open a group of tabs by choosing "Open All in Tabs"
Actual Results:  
The content of your selected tab is overwritten by the first bookmarked page in the group and the other bookmarks open in tabs inserted to the right of the selected tab.

Expected Results:  
All bookmarks from the group should be opened in their own respective tabs at the end of your tab list.
