Bookmarks to tabs in FF 2.0

Hmmm, this is a feature I don't use too often but maybe someone who is a tab hound like Dave Yates could enlighten me as to whether this behavior has changed from 1.5.x to 2.0.

I thought when you select the option to open all in tabs in a live book mark or bookmark folder that new tabs were added for each bookmark. What has happened to me and tested on another machine is that the book marks open in new tabs but it overwrites any exisiting tabs so that what I originally had open is gone.

Is this the way it is supposed to be?

According to the developers this is not a bug in 2.0. I do not recall what the behavior is in pre 2.0. You can easily change this with the Tab Preferences extension or in about:config set:

browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace to false

Yeah, I hate that - FWIW it's been that way (IME) since that option has existed. I think the default behavior in Konqueror is much better.
