"Don't load tabs until selected" ... Where is the setting so that it affects the tabs when I click "Open all in tabs" from History?

I am trying to reload all the tabs from history, it's a couple thousand. I am not concerned about system RAM I have 16GB. I know it will be slow, I'm not looking for any warnings or questions about why I have to reload that many tabs or how to work with the restore.bak sessionstore files.
The question I need an answer to is, "What setting do I need to change so that when I reload multiple tabs, it doesn't say "connecting" on all of them even though I have already selected "Don't load tabs until selected"

I think we both understand what you want. And we're both saying we are not aware of any built-in way to do this.

How do I choose which webpage opens when I click open a new tab?

When I click "Open a new tab" Firefox takes me to yahoo.com. What if I want it to take me to google.com?

The normal behavior is to open a blank tab. An add-on will be causing it to open to Yahoo, a possible add-on doing this is the freeze net assistant. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it.
The NewTabURL add-on will let you choose what you want to open on a new tab, but I would only install it if you uninstall the add-on that is opening Yahoo due to possible conflicts between the add-ons - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl

"1) it takes TOOOOOO LONG for multi-row tabs to close when i click "close all/other tabs" and 2) it takes TOO long for Firefox to appear after i click the icon on the desktop"

1) When many tabs are opened in multiple rows (say 50 or 100) it may take an enternity for them to close after I click the appropriate command
2)MOre often than not, it takes the browser too long to appear (open) after I initiat it by clicking the desktop or start menu icon.
NB: My first question is PRIMARY (critcally important) and second is additional (would very much like to receive an answer but it's not critical).
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards, Dmitry.

Sorry about the bookmarks misread, I installed a Multi-Row Tab style, not for me but it in use deleted 126 of 130 tabs in about 3 seconds and then the last 4, no idea why that happens with the with the multi-row style.
Did those 100 pages have web forms in them that you filled in an Firefox may be saving data along with the session.
Here is a test page that you can quickly load up to 120 tabs at a time with an extension such as "Linky". See it if it takes an eternity to close them with the Multi Row tabs extension you are using, then try the same with the extension disabled. Works fast for me all tabs are on one row.

Can no longer "open all in tabs" from an RSS bookmark in firefox 13

i used to be able to middle click, or right click "open all in tabs" on an RSS bookmark, in the bookmark toolbar. I no longer have that option.

hello, i can replicate this behaviour. firefox 13 contained changes regarding the handling of live bookmarks in order to improve performance, so i don't know if this change happened intentionally or is just a unwanted by-product. i've created [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762089 a bug report] for clarification...

How to "open all in tabs" bookmarks including links in second level folders (maybe each in new window with tabs) It opens only first level links... thanks

I mean, if I go to the main menu, bookmarks->some folder (this "some folder" includes a 5 bookmarks and "some folder 1", "some folder 2" each with own bookmarks), click "open all in tabs", then it opens only 5 bookmarks, but I want it to open bookmarks from "some folder 1", "some folder 2" too at the same time! (maybe in new windows with tabs for each "some folder 1", "some folder 2") doesn't matter.
Is there a way to do this? Maybe addons? extensions? Maybe you could add this in future versions...
THanks. It would be great for me and my friends. (they also asked about this)

"Don't load tabs until selected" option no longer there?

I have installed a new version of Firefox (long overdue) from version 17 to 31. I was able to customize everything to my liking after some fiddling around but one setting remains that I cannot rectify. Firefox's options menu no longer seems to include the "Don't load tabs until selected" checkbox as can be seen in this screenshot

(https://superuser.com/questions/433096/how-do-i-make-firefox-13-load-all-my-tabs-on-startup-or-when-resuming-reload)
This wouldn't be a problem for me if the option was off by default, but it seems to be on. I have tried to find the correct technical setting for this in the about:config menu as per suggestion of one of the threads on the Firefox Support forum.

Unfortunately, "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" - which I have set to "true" - does not seem to work, even after restarting Firefox, nor does "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground".
Please help! I will be very, very grateful if all my tabs load immediately and at the same time again upon opening my browser; a practice many users over the years seem to disagree with.

Don't load tabs until selected and then load with refresh (or skip cache) [Firefox 19]

Hi there,
I use Firefox 19 with the option "Don't load tabs until selected" (in Options/Tabs). It's a neat option but when the tab reloads, it doesn't refresh the page but just reloads it at the state when the browser last closed.
With Firefox 3.6, the addon Bar Tab provides the same option (because it was not an in-built option in FF yet) but reloads the page with a refresh so it is up-to-date.
How can I achieve this in Firefox 19, reloading with a true refresh or by automatically skipping the cache?
Thanks for the help.

That is how it is implemented in current Firefox versions. 
With this setting only the memory cache will be used.

Idea for enhancement: When in the bookmarks menu, how about in each folder adding an choice of "Bookmark Current page in this folder". ie this would appear like the "Open All in Tabs" choice does now. Where soudl I post this idea?

Bookmark "Open all in tabs" deletes all current tabs

Fresh install of Firefox 29
I have several submenu's of bookmark categories. With Firefox 28 I used to open a blank tab, go to a bookmark subcategory and "Open all in tabs", and the blank tab would be replaced with the several pages I had listed in the bookmark subcategory. All my existing tabs except the blank tab would remain on my tab bar.
Except now, they didn't. All my tabs gone, replaced by the bookmarks I just opened. Yes I can probably find the original in history, etc. but that's not the point. Why are tabs being deleted like this? I consider tab loss a very serious issue, it's akin to data loss, which is not really acceptable.

No, the tabs disappear from the drop down arrow as well.
Settings:
Open links that open in a new window in: New Tab
[x]Warn me when closing multiple tabs
[] Warn me when closing window with multiple tabs
[x]Warn me when closing window with protected tabs
[x]Warn me when opening multiple tabs might slow down Firefox
[x]Don't load tabs until selected
[]When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately
[]Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar
Hide the tab bar: Never
Though I don't see that ANY of these settings have anything to do with this issue at all.

Chosing "open all in tabs" only opens the first of the bookemarks in the folder.

I have upgraded my computer with a new processor, RAM, MoBo and GPU. I also updated to the latest version of Firefox.
All my bookmarks were transferred over. However there are two main problems. When I select a folder of bookmarks to open and select "open all in tabs" it only opens one tab and then only loads the first bookmark. I tried using a mozbackup to refresh the bookmarks but they still don't open.
However Firefox does open a load of multiple tabs from a previous browsing session. However the number of tabs is wider than my screen. I used to be able to use the scroll wheel on the mouse button to "flow" the bookmarks across the screen but that no longer works.
I have also discovered that I can no longer move tabs along.
All in all FF is stuffed and I am going to have to swap to Opera or another browser as in its current state FF is unusuable.
Please can anyone make any suggestions as to what I can do?

Link to published course only works when you right-click open in new tab/window (Firefox)

I have encountered an issue where my published captivate course will not load correctly (all I get is a black screen) in Firefox when clicking on the web link. All I get is a black screen. Refreshing doesn't help either. However if I instead right click on the hyperlink and select "open in a new tab" or "open in a new window" the course loads properly. I have been told that it works just fine in IE and Chrome.
If any of you would like to test this in Firefox visit http://www.wakeprecinctofficials.com/p/training-resources.html and the link in question is called the Laptop 101 Online Course. I appreciate any help. Thanks

I tested your link in Firefox 3.6 and IE9. Black screen only in Firefox. Works fine in IE.
Try removing the lines above the <HTML> tag that say:

Firefox 8 changed how "open all in tabs" works for bookmarks. How do I get it back to the way it worked in FF7?

In fFF7, right clicking a bookmarks folder displayed a menu with "Open all in tabs" as the first item. Selecting this option closed all other tabs, then opened the group in new tabs. This changed in FF8--now the group is opened in tabs adjacent to the already opened tabs. How do I get it to act like it did in FF7 (and before) where the open tabs where closed before opening the new folder?
Thanks

So your advice for a feature that worked fine, was intuitive, and we want, but was removed from Firefox, is to add an extension? That's not helpful.

Firefox 7 crashes when using "open all in tabs"

Since upgrading to FF7 (and 7.0.1) every time I use the "open all in tabs" command from the folder of bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar, the whole thing freezes and never finished loading any of the pages. I also can't open another window and get anything to load there.
I'm tried starting up in safe mode and still have the issue. I reinstalled FF6 right over FF7 and it was back to normal with no problems.
No crash reports since it doesn't get that far. I have to close all windows and restart FF, then it works again until I try open all in tabs.

Finally found a fix that is working for me! I've been using it for the last 10 mins or so and has not crashed/hung once yet!
