Firefox Open Bookmarks in new Tabs
This is something that is really bothering me in Firefox. All the bookmarks are opening in the currently active tab and I prefer them to open in a new tab instead. There is apparently no option to change this behavior in Firefox which is not very user friendly if you ask me.
Thankfully though a click with the middle mouse button is loading the selected bookmark in a new tab. I have to get used to this and I happen to forget about this even after months of using it. Nothing is worse than opening a bookmark in the tab were you are writing an article because that article, or at least part of it, gets lost when this happens.
I know that there are extensions, I think Tab Mix Plus does it, that add this functionality but I recently cut down on extensions that I’m using to make Firefox more memory friendly. If you know of another way, config setting that is, please let me know.

Yes, like you I often forget to middle click to open a bookmark in a new tab.
I now simply just left click and drag the bookmark, or link to the tab bar. Never fails. Uses no more memory. Is not a firefox add on. And now that I’m in the habit of doing it every time it’s automatic and I never lose the page I was looking at when I decide to open another link or bookmark.
