Expected Results: you just use mouse to click FF shortcut, then double click free space at tab bar for opening new tab and click desired bookmark (after exploring this bookmark you can switch to your home page exploring) using "right mouse button" for opening new tab from bookmarks may not work for Mac, hard to use in notebooks and still not clear to users with >2 button mouse (because introduce new mode for him - "right mouse button mode"), also some bookmarks at bookmarks tab presented as buttons and some other as menus ("Getting started" and "Latest headlines" for example) but visually not differ from each other - so user should decide (recall from memory on which link at which level he should use right or left mouse-click)
