when clicking bookmark, does not open a new tab
Just upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1. When I click on one of my bookmarks, it doesn't open a new tab but opens up in what ever tab I was in.

Default behavior is for Firefox to open a bookmark or link in the currently selected tab. There are some tab Add-ons that have an option to automatically open in a new tab.
To open a bookmark or link in a new tab you can do one of the following:
- middle-click the bookmark or link (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
- right-click the bookmark or link and choose "Open in a New Tab"
- Ctrl+left-click the bookmark or link

That's the way Firefox works. You can {Ctrl + Click} or Middle-click a bookmark to have it open in a new Tab. Or you can install an extension that has a preference that can be set so you can Click on a bookmark to have it open in a new Tab; I believe TabMix Plus has that feature, and there are probably other extensions that add a pref for that.
or keep digging in the Tabbed Mix options, then Tap opening and there click on "Open Tabs From:" and select Bookmarks (and whatever else).....voila!!
