How do I make the following happen: Browse multiple sites at once, simply and easily. Each new site appears as a new tab.

With one tab open, when I click on a bookmark the browser DOES NOT open it in a new tab. It opens it in the same tab replacing the old site.

   In FEATURES it says:

"Browse multiple sites at once, simply and easily. Each new site appears as a new tab"

   I wish it would.

- Xircal - FYI, Somehow I lost most of the addons that I had for FireFox and have been reloading them. When I loaded the 2 that you gave me I did it one at a time. After loading the 1st one I closed and restarted FireFox but it didn't work. I then shut down the computer and restarted. Still nothing. I then downloaded the 2nd addon and voila, new sites opened in new tabs. Just thought you might like to know. -
