How can I remove 'Open all in tabs' from my bookmarks? It's very annoying when you click on it by error. I downgraded from 29 to 28 because of the various bookmark issues I was having. I never had this issue with previous version of FF, why did they have to mess with stuff that was working.

I love the new layout. Thanks

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line. 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#placesContext_openContainer\:tabs,
#placesContext_openSeparator {
 display: none !important;
}

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Firefox 28 contains security vulnerabilities. It's best to start a new thread (ask a new question) about the other issues you're having with Firefox 29 and resolve them.

  1. Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
  2. Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A).
  3. Click User Styles on the left.
  4. Click the Write New Style button at the top. Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button. 
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#BMB_bookmarksPopup .openintabs-menuitem,
#bookmarksMenuPopup .openintabs-menuitem {
  display: none !important;
}

If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the userChrome.css file instead, but I don't recommend it.
