Opening a site from Bookmark Toolbar in a new tab steals focus eventhough all new tab behaviors are set to not steal focus.

When I open a site from my [Bookmarks Toolbar] (feeds) in a new tab, the site is opened in a new tab and FF switches to it. I have already unchecked [Options]~>[Tabs]~>["When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately."]. I have also set [browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground] to true.

The bookmarks/feeds open new tabs in the background properly, but opening the site from the bookmark toolbar does not.

Is this a bug? Is there a setting I am missing to fix this?

Example of what is happening now: {Left Click} [Bookmarks Toolbar] {Mouseover} [xkcd.com] (expand feed folder) {Middle Click} [Open "xkcd.com"] (at top of list of feed links) xkcd.com site now opens in a new tab and FF switches to it.

I want the site to open the in a new tab in the background like the feed links already do with my settings.

Works for me if I middle-click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar and browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground is set to true.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Please re-read the original post. My bookmarks work fine. The site link above the feed bookmarks does not.

I confirmed that safe mode does not fix this issue.
