Opening tabs from history, jumps to top after each opening
Sometimes someone may close a session I had open, or system needs a reboot and I want to go back to the sites I had. I hit ctrl-h to open up the history window. I'll scroll down and find the windows I had been on. I will middle click to open in a new tab on the first one, then as I'm going to highlight the next one, the history refreshes and pulls me all the way back up to the top. Sometimes I might need to page down 4-5 times to get back to where I was. Open another tab, it jumps me back to the top. 1-2 windows isn't too bad but I'm looking to restore 5+, this can be very inefficient. Is there a command to open one of these in a tab or so and not trigger that refresh?

"History" isn't the same as session-store data, which does store page position. History doesn't store that data unless you would have "jumped down" via a button on the page you were viewing; then is would look like there were multiple loads of the same page.
Inefficient or not, "someone" should have their own Logon User Account to use and not use any program that you have open, or open another window to use.
That is how the history works. If you click an entry then you create a new visit with the current date/time which causes it to move the entry to the top. You can select multiple histroy items in the usual way via Shift and Control (individual items) and use "Open All in Tabs" in the right-click context menu. You can tear of the tabs to other windows when needed.
In the sidebar you need to click to the left of the favicon to avoid opening the link.
