How do I set FF so that when I click on a bookmark, it opens in a new tab and doesn't replace the tab presently open?

New computers were installed in my office. I had to reinstall Mozilla Firefox. All my bookmarks were imported from old computer; however, when I want to open a new bookmark, instead of opening in a new tab, it opens and replaces the tab I currently have open. I want to have multiple tabs open without having to right click each time and tell it to open in a new tab. It used to do this automatically; however, now it does not. My new OS is Windows 10 (grrrrrrrrrr).

Thank you,

hi, it's possible to do it like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs. double-click it and change its value to true.

Thank you. I found out what I needed was as add-on and not actually an option in the set up.
