Is there a setting that will let me automatically open websites from my Bookmarks Toolbar in a new tab?

My old toolbar add-on gave the option of opening bookmarks in the same tab or a new tab, but I can't find a way to change the options in the new Firefox (57.0) Quantum bookmarks.

Try this:

  1. type "about:config" in the address bar
  2. click the "I accept the risk" button
  3. type "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs" in the search box
  4. double-click on the item that appears to change the value to "true".

Hope this helps!
