Open bookmarks in same tab...

Is there any setting that I can change to force Firefox to open bookmarks in the same tab that I have open when clicking on a bookmark? I hope this makes sense. In other words, right now I'm on the Mozilla support page writing this. If I click on a bookmark in the bookmarks bar, it always opens a new tab. I want to force it to stay on this tab and go to the bookmark. Thanks.

Hi, assuming you aren't using any extensions that might change how bookmarks open; type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept any warning, then copy and paste the following into the search box: browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs now on the result, click the toggle button at the far right to change it from True to False.

Thanks, Scribe. That worked. I wonder why they didn't make a setting with a toggle for this. Oh well, thanks again.
