How to open all bookmarks in a folder

more options

Hello,

I've had a longstanding question regarding the behavior of bookmark folders and the Command/Ctrl"shortcut" that acts as if selecting Open All in Tabs.

Why does the menu open when I Command click on a bookmark folder from the bookmarks toolbar? It forces the user to "click out" to exit the menu to continue. This essentially negates the benefit of the Command click shortcut. If I have to click twice, I may as well open the bookmark folder normally and select Open All in Tabs.

I'm assuming that Command/Control click is intended to be a shortcut feature to open all the bookmarks contained within a folder on the toolbar. It seems like unwanted functionality to have that menu open. If someone is trying to use the "shortcut" they don't intend to make a selection from the menu and wouldn't need it to open.

Let me know how I need to proceed. I'm not sure if this is a really old bug, a feature request, or just something I'm missing. If you could point me in the direction of an add-on or configuration parameter that would allow me to change this on my own, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

I never noticed that glitch with {Ctrl + Click} on a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar before you mention it now. I have always used a Middle-click to open all the bookmarks in a folder, the downside is that it opens new tabs and doesn't overwrite the tab that is already open.
