This fix no longer works in Firefox 3.

Beware of upgrading to Firefox 3 if you want tabs to overwrite existing tabs as there is currently no fox for this.

Thank you for this help. I use tabmixplus and I remember there being an option to append or replace tabs from bookmarks , etc. Oh well this worked and was easier to implement. cheers

I agree somewhat but I can not seem to follow your logic.

It can not be done for consistency as this would mean that Ctrl + clicking, Alt + clicking or my favourite middle clicking would make “Open All in Tabs” open in new tabs.

I can middle click bookmarks to make them open in new tabs, so why is it not consistent and a middle click mean that “Open All in Tabs” opens in new tabs?

Definitely, Open All in Tabs is broken by design without this feature set. I use an ActiveX control in conjuction with IETab to make a VPN connection to my corporate network, so the default behaviour actually brings my network connection down. Deeply horrible default behaviour.

It’s absolutely not intuitive. It’s a flaw that’s cost me tons of time and saved pages. And I knew there was a setting for it in about:config, but I couldn’t find it. Thanks!

I agree. I never understood the default behaviour here. I always have my Firefox set up this way.
