I want to open bookmarked pages in a new tab, like it used to, rather than having it replace the current page in the current tab. Ho do I do this?

In earlier verisions of Firefox, when I opened bookmarked pages, they opened in a new tab. Now, in version 6.0.1, when I open a bookmark, it opens in the current tab and replaces the page I am reading. I want the bookmarks to open in a new tab just like links open in a new tab. How do I do that?

Middle-click the bookmark with the mouse scroll wheel to open the link in a new tab.
