As the subject says, when i middle mouse click on a link to open it in a new tab in a folder on the bookmark bar, the folder closes, which is annoyign when i want to opne multiple pages. How do i prevent this folder closing?

Also the "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check mark doesnt seem to work when it comes to the adresse bar. Firefox will switch to any page i middle mouse click in my bookmark bar with this setting UNCHECKED. I fixed this wrong behavior by setting this option "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" to TRUE in the "about:config" settings page.

I also want to add that this problem is recent. I've been using firefox for a few years and only since one of the recent updates (dont know which one) has this problem occured. I assume it's a bug since such inconsistent "setting options to actual ui behavior" is laughable.
