User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1
Build ID: 20120905151427

Steps to reproduce:

1. In the "Tabs" section of Firefox's options, I checked the "Don't load tabs until selected" check box.

2. I clicked the "Open All in Tabs" item in a bookmark folder's context menu.


Actual results:

The tabs all loaded before I selected any of them.


Expected results:

I expected each tab to not load until I selected it.

Later, I learned that the "Don't load tabs until selected" option only affects sessions.[1] Perhaps the "Don't load tabs until selected" label should be rewritten to "Don't load tabs from a session until selected".

Sorry, is there any chance to have this bug taken into account and solved? I think that this setting is misleading since it seems to apply to generic tabs while in fact it does apply only at startup.
Thanks.
