Unable to open multiple new tabs from address bar

So, I'm switching from Chrome and there's this one thing I can't seem to be able to replicate in firefox.

When I start my day I usually open several tabs from different pages of the same website. In Chrome, I would do that by: -typing the name of the website in my address bar -all the pages I frequently visited in that website show in my suggestions -I middlemouse-click all of them, one after the other -this opens one new tab for all of them -I then switch to those tabs and browse them

However, replicating this in firefox seems impossible. When middle-mouse-clicking the 1st link, I would have my window forcibly switch to it, not letting me open the other tabs without changing tabs again. Recently I learned I can avoid this forced switch by middle-mouse-clicking the URL on my address bar while holding shift, which is great! . . . Except it still closes my address bar, not letting me click the other ones without having to type the website's name in it again.

I don't mind holding shift (though I wish I didn't have to) but I really just want to middle mouse click multiple links in my address' suggestion bar and open them in succession, without shifting back to it after each time.

You can bookmark all those tabs and place them in one folder, then you can middle-click this folder or use "Open All Bookmarks".

I certainly can but this still won't help me if I ever want to open multiple tabs from my browser suggestions. I'm just trying to find a way to replicate this functionality of Chrome in Firefox.

You can't do this in Firefox via the location bar. You can select multiple history items in the sidebar (Ctrl click at the far left of an item) and open these in tabs via the right-click context menu.
