On RSS feeds "Open all in tabs" seems to ALWAYS be greyed out.

It works fine on other bookmarks, so it is NOT this bug: 

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950762

I have lived with this bug for a loooong time since an update, I think it was around FF13.

It is greyed out on ALL machines I know of... I have seen the bug on several machines with completely independent bookmarks, seen on multiple windows versions

Tried all tricks and NONE worked. Just tried to start in safe mode (did not help) tried to start in safe mode and reset EVERYTHING - but the bug persists.

Googling the bug gives thousands and thousands of hits, so this is still an existing bug NOT related to add-ons.

The reset saves the bookmarks, so I guess the bug MIGHT be found inside the bookmark-database corrupted at some upgrade.

If this is not a bug, but an intentional removal of a function, then it should be hidden not greyed.

hello, yes this option was removed in firefox 13 after a deep overhaul of the live-bookmark system which had the goal to improve performance (see bug #613588). you're probably right, that when this option isn't available it could be totaly removed from the menu instead of just greyed out...

Thanks for the quick response. :) I added the not too fantastic 

  OPEN ALL IN TABS 1.0.rev698

that adds the function back in a slightly awkward way.


....But why not keep it as an About:config option? But even better would be to replace it with "Open all UNREAD in tabs" 

 :-)
