Thanks! Don't suppose there's a way to not have the "other bookmarks" panel close when you middle click the bookmark, like Chrome does?

Will have to research or maybe someone closer to Dev knows. Also, after updates you should check your settings. I made this change this morning in Nightly. Come home after work, update Nightly, and the change has been reverted. TRIGGERED
