Hi carrun, While I don't know of any Firefox setting that will open bookmarks in a new tab, if you would like them to you can go Here. Click on "Add to Firefox" then "Add" and "Ok". Your bookmarks will open in a new tab from now on! ~calvinarchil

You can look at this pref on the about:config page.

  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs = true

Maybe you're interested in these prefs:

  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
  • browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
