If you hit middle click (scroll button) the bookmark is opened in a new tab which is normal and intended. When hitting right click on a bookmark there appears a menu on which you can select it to open the bookmark, cut, copy, delete etc. I tested on latest Nightly.

Does the issue with right click still exists in safemode:

Issue still exists using package firefox-trunk obtained from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa (aka Firefox and Thunderbird daily builds), which is version 26.0a1 though the webpage says that it is package 27.0a1.
