Request
Please add the ability to set Bookmarks Sidebar behaviors in a Preferences tab
Problem
Navigating to a bookmarked site in a new tab requires two steps that can be
eliminated:
Step 1 - open sidebar
Step 2 - find link
Step 3 - right-click on link
Step 4 - select open in new tab
Step 5 - close sidebar
Action Taken
I have installed an add-on called “Open Bookmarks in New Tab” that opens a
bookmark in a new tab. Then when I am working I type ctrl-b with one hand
before clicking on the link I want and then closing the sidebar by either
typing ctrl-b again or clicking on the close button.
Current Behavior
The current configuration requires that I install yet another add-on and take
five separate steps.
Suggested Behavior
Give the user the ability to set the sidebar’s behavior so it opens a
bookmark in a new tab before closing. Then the task could be completed in only
three steps. Further, it would eliminate the need to install an add-on. The
required steps would then be:
Step 1 - open sidebar
Step 2 - find link
Step 3 - click on link

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
