Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

When I click on my bookmarks they no longer open in a new tab, what do I do to fix it?

I just uploaded to the newest version of Firefox. Now, when I click on a bookmark the link opens in the same tab - they won't open in a new tab. However, when I click on a link in an existing page that link opens in a new tab. I miss having my bookmarked links open in their own individual tabs. Please put that function back in.
