Open bookmarks in a folder in the sidebar: close/stay in focus current tab?

Hi everyone,

Let me explain my question with this example:

I have 1 tab open (let's call it TAB1). I click with the central button of my mouse on a given folder of bookmarks in the sidebar, which contains some bookmarks (let's call them TABA, TABB, TABC). Now Firefox (at least in my case) loads the 3 tabs, moving the focus on TABA, leaving TAB1 open (and not visible) on the left.

I would like instead one of the two following options (the possibility of chosing both is even better!):

- Close TAB1 (my favourite choice) and open the bookmarks as described above; - Leave the focus on TAB1 and open the bookmarks as described above;

If someone could help me with this, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks, and a BIG ciao from Italy!

Hi, sorry would like to nail that down for you but there seems to 63 pages to choose from : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=tab+focus

Thanks, but it seems to me that there is no 63 pages from which to choose, but only 63 pages to read, hoping to find what I'm looking for.... A little bit too much complex, IMHO.

If someone could help me with a solution, I'd be grateful.
