When I click on a bookmark stored in my bookmark toolbar it opens in a sidebar rather than a new tab. How do I get it to open in a new tab?

I just set my bookmark toolbar up with my most often used URL's. However when I click on a bookmarked URL from my toolbar, it opens in a sidebar to the left on my main screen, rather than in a new tab. The sidebar is cumbersome because I have to scroll around to see the entire screen. How do I get the URL to open in a new tab, not in the sidebar?

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.

Right-click that bookmark and select Properties, then un-check the preference for Load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.
