If I middle click on a group of tags ('folder') in the bookmarks toolbar, it switches to the first new tab, even with browser.tabs.loadbookmarksinbackground set to true. A single bookmark will open in the background.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a folder on the bookmark toolbar (bookmark all tabs -> Bookmarks Toolbar]
2. set browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true (and b.t.opentabsfor.bookmarks)
3. middle click the bookmark group -> will switch to new tab.
Actual Results:  
switches to new tab

Expected Results:  
firefox keeps on current tab, and opens all new tabs in the background.
Confirmed with Firefox 3.0.1

Loading a group of bookmarks at once (for instance, middle-clicking on a bookmark folder) simply doesn't respect browser.tabs.loadbookmarksinbackground setting like in Firefox 2.
