Can Firefox be set up so that when you click on a bookmark it automatically opens in a new window or tab?

I don't have an issue with how the tabs work. But, the other user of my laptop can not distinguish between the concepts of "x" and "+" leading to constant frustration as he opens bookmarks over the tabs he wants left open. I thought it might help if a clicked bookmark opened automatically in a new tab or window rather having to click on the add a tab for a blank tab before opening a bookmark. But, I don't see how that could be set up, or if it can be, in the options menu.

Install this Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/

Take a look at this add-on from the same developer as the other one, but no user configuration seems to be involved with this one.

Thanks! 

I will try this one (Xircal's) later, I went with the quicker fix  (the-edmeister 's) for now.

If you do try the other add-on, don't have them both enabled at the same time, disable the first one you installed. Funny things can happen when two similar extensions are installed and enabled at the same time.

"Open link in a new tab" differs from "Open bookmark in a new tab" in that a link may not necessarily be a bookmark. Therefore it should be possible to run both together.
