I don't belive it should do that. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.middle mouse click on "Latest Headlines" button in Bookmarks Toolbar 2.Watch many tabs appear 3. Actual Results: many tabs appeared Expected Results: Not have 25+ tabs appear at once. Maybe go to a headline mainpage so the user can choose the headline.

This is the intended behavior. It is like middle clicking on a folder, which produces the same results. Thus this is likely invalid.

Yes, but shouldn't there be a warning if a time consuming activity that may switch off the UI is starting. The Reporter has an edge case, because if I were asked to pick a number, I would say 23 or fewer - just do it; 24 or more ask whether you really meant to open that many tabs at once. The obvious alternative is for the user to ensure that he or she never places more items in a Bookmarks Toolbar folder than he or she is happy to have opened at one go, which strikes me as an onerous and hidden constraint, worse (I concede by a small margin) that the extra dialogue I suggested.

The best fix is to make Firefox not hang when you open dozens of tabs at once.
