With the bookmark list open I like to open a number of them at a time, the be problem is that each time I click on a bookmark it opens and switches to a new tab. I like to open around 5 tabs from the bookmark list, with FF I have to open the bookmark sekect the bookmark menu again open another and so on. It would be nice to be able to open the bookmarks straight from the list. That way the first one is loading while i open the others.

1. The Sidebar view of bookmarks will stay open until you decide to close it.
{Ctrl + B}

2. Tools > Options > Tabs = un-check - When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately
If you have a tab-related extension installed, it may have "taken over" that preference or modified it.

3. You can Middle-click a bookmark in the Sidebar to have it open in a new Tab; if you Middle-click a folder of bookmarks, all those bookmarks will open in new Tabs (you get a warning at ten tabs).

Point one works. Having to close te side bar when finished is the only extra click needed over IE.

Thanks
