When opening bookmarks folder, tabs now shoot to the last tab, instead of the first one
I've tried using FF in Safe Mode, and the problem occurs there as well.
After the last update a couple of days ago, whenever I open a bookmarks folder, the tabs now shoot to the very last tab, meaning the last bookmark in the folder. I now have to keep tapping the button to scroll the tabs back to the first bookmark, so I can work through the folder in order.
What can I do to correct this. Thank you!

Hmm, mine doesn't do that if I start from a new window with just my home page displayed. How are you triggering the "Open all in tabs" feature?
Anyway, as a workaround or for general knowledge, if you are on the last tab in a window, you can use Ctrl+Tab (the "next tab" shortcut) to scoot back around to the first tab in the window. And to go in reverse, Ctrl+Shift+Tab.
I go to the bottom of the bookmark folder and click the "open all in tabs" text, as I've done for years.
It displays the content of the first tab, but now it scrolls through all the open tabs to show the very last ones at the end of the folder. So I have to tap the back button to bring the first tabs back into view, so I can start working through the folder in order.
The Back button, hmm. Normally, the feature opens each bookmark in a separate tab. I don't understand why you would need to use the Back button.
It's the back button that allows you to move through the tabs, when there's more than 12 open. Actually, it looks more like the "greater than" symbol. Kind of like an arrowhead. There's one on the other side of the page that points the other direction that lets you move forward through the open tabs.
It's not the back button on the browser. It's the back button to move through the tabs. I apologize if I've not been more clear.
Okay, I see what you mean. The page being displayed is the first tab (no change there), but the tabs bar has scrolled to the end. I think the fastest method to get back to the beginning of the tabs is to hover the mouse pointer over one of the tabs and scroll the mouse wheel up (away from you). Since I rarely open that many tabs at once, I just can't remember how it worked before, and I don't know whether there is a setting for it.

Yes, that's the problem exactly. I appreciate your time in discussing it. Thank you!
Since it does it, even in Safe Mode, hopefully a (very near) future update will resolve it, because it really is a pain!
You can triple click the left/right arrow on the Tab bar to go to the first/last tab. A double-click on either button moves one screen width.

The fast three tap is a good work-around. Thanks for sharing that tip.
I hope the developers are aware of this behavior, and will correct it in short order, because it really serves no purpose other than to create extra work.
Thank you both again for your time and expertise.
