What happened?

When I click on a bookmark, it actually opens in a new tab, instead of opening in the current tab that I'm in.

If this is intentional: We should have bookmarks open in the current tab. The middle click is opening them in a new tab anyway.

Thank you!

Reproducible?

• [ ] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

ZEN-1583 Bookmarks are opening in a new tab (instead of the current tab)

[bhaumik-tripathi]

Hey @stripedgoat, this is the default way in which bookmarks/history tabs are opened in firefox , and hence the same in Zen. If you want to open the bookmark in new tab, you can right click on the button and click "Open in New Tab" to open in new tab. If you want to open bookmarks in new tabs by default, change the settings as following:-

1. Go to about:config in your address bar.
2. Search for in browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs in the search bar.
3. Change the value from false to true.

You can now check that the desired behavior is achieved without restarting the browser. It is much appreciated to look for solutions online before creating a issue. Thanks
