Keyword for "Open All in Tabs"?

Is there a way to use a keyword to "Open All in Tabs" of a bookmark folder?
I know about the option to set multiple tabs as my home page. But don't want all those tabs to open every time I start FF, just when I want them to. And easily do that like typing a small keyword in the address bar.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Change to how "Open all in tabs" operates?

There used to be an option for "open all in tabs" to open the first tab in the group into the current (open) tab. Now the current tab stays open and the group I am opening opens in additional tabs. The first tab in the group in question is my home page, so now a new (second) home page tab opens with this action. What am I missing?

Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
That should make the home page(s) open in the first tab.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

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.

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?

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!
'''Go to about:config and change the max connections from 256 to 48. The setting is "network.http.max-connections"'''

So far so good. Please comment if this works for you as well!

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 "Open All in Tabs" in the current tab as it did before Firefox 8.x

When click on "Open All in Tabs" on a grouped bookmark item Firefox use to open the group of tabs from the current tab onwards. Since version 7.x it does it by opening a new tab first and leave the current tab unchanged. Is there a setting to be changed to have the same behavior as before? It seems not logical because when I click on a single bookmark item it opens in the current tab.

Yep. Those are all correct.
Here's what I've learned from another site, Sandboxie. And this is why I hate upgrading FF and other s/w if I don't absolutely have to. They always changes stuff:
I believe this link discusses the related change in Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491947
Before version 14, Firefox used a mechanism called DDE to send links to an open instance of itself. Sandboxie includes support for this kind of one-way DDE communication, specifically to support that use case, which has now stopped working.
'''It stopped working because Firefox 14 no longer uses DDE, as described in that Firefox bugzilla page.'''
I have to take back my earlier post and say that there is nothing I can do about this in Sandboxie and that some kind of workaround will have to be the long term solution.
Guest10's solution works well, but I can't add it as a default in Sandboxie because it means that if you have an open Firefox outside the sandbox and you run Firefox in the sandbox, then a new window (or tab) opens in Firefox outside the sandbox, and nothing runs in the sandbox. I feel this kind of behavior is too confusing to offer as part of Sandboxie.
It might be possible to restore the old functionality in Firefox 14. The bugzilla page says something about Firefox 14 trying to remove all DDE functionality, but the following still seems to work for me. Download the following .reg file to your desktop (outside the sandbox), then double-click it, and confirm entering it into the registry.
See http://sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=13330 for a link and a reg file.

How can I get Safari 5.1 to open without opening all the tabs that were open when i last quit safari?

When I lauch Safari (5.1 in 10.7) I want it to open to either an empty page or a designated homepage - but istead it opens all the tabs that were open when I quit Safari. How do i stop this, I cant find any preference to achieve this and see nothing in help. Any help?

Hi James - Thanks for the info! This has been bugging me, too. I'm going to uncheck the Restore Windows box. Agree with you that it should be app specific, tho. I like opening to the last page I was working on in pages and numbers. Hope it doesn't change that!

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)

Open All in Tabs, opens bookmarks in new tabs and leaves current tab open instead of changing to the first bookmark

Whenever I click the "Open All in Tabs", it opens all the bookmarks in new tabs instead of opening the first bookmark in the current tab and the rest in new tabs.
happens on all 3 of my computers running 8.0a1

This isn't possible anymore, due to the fact that this Boolean entry has been removed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395024
 
In my Firefox Aurora 8.0a2 (Windows 7, but Ubuntu 10.10 as well) the current behaviour could be described as follows: 
Open all in tabs
<ul><li>Normal click: opens all in new tabs, changes focus to first one opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + click: opens all in new tabs, changes focus to first one opened;</li>
<li>Shift + click: opens all in new window, changes focus to first one (tab) opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + Shift + click: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus.</li></ul>
 
Whereas I would like it to be as follows: 
Open all in tabs
<ul><li>Normal click: opens all but the first one (which overwrites current) in new tabs, doesn't change focus (due to the fact that the first item is already in the focused tab); in short, it changes the currently focused to the first item from the folder and appends its' rest on the right side;</li>
<li>Ctrl + click: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus;</li>
<li>Shift + click: opens all in new window, changes focus to the first one (tab) opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + Shift: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus.</li></ul>
 
This behaviour was present a few versions ago and only lately have I looked for the solution to this. I encountered many bug files regarding this topic with people speaking against Firefox's behaviour that would close existing tabs when opening all in new tabs (from a folder), which possibly influenced the change that I would like to be reverted.
 
Please let me know if it is possible to attain the behaviour I described.

Why does "open all in tabs" delete my entire current browsing session?

I went into my bookmarks and selected "open all in tabs" for a particular folder. It opened all those links in new tabs, all right - but it closed every tab I already had open, and did not save the session.
It is really, massively frustrating and stressful when this happens, because I have to spend hours slogging through weeks of history, trying to reconstruct what I was already doing. WHY is this set up this way? If it's going to delete all my current tabs, shouldn't it save them all as a session (preferably) or at least warn me that it will do so?

this is not the standard behaviour in firefox - per default "open all in tabs" will open the selected bookmarks next to your already open tabs. do you have any extensions installed that might alter this behaviour?
not related to your question: you have a outdated version of the flash plugin installed on your system. for security reasons you should probably update to the latest version. you can check your plugins at [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck].

"Open all in tabs" is grayed out on all Live Bookmarks

I subscribe to several RSS feeds through Live Bookmarks, but on the right-click menu for each, the "Open all in tabs" option is always grayed-out. How can I make it functional again?

You will have to use a feed reader extension to have this feature.
You can search the Add-ons website for such an extension.

RSS "Open all in tabs" greyed out.

On RSS feeds "Open all in tabs" seems to ALWAYS be greyed out.
It works fine on other bookmarks, so it is NOT this bug:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950762
I have lived with this bug for a loooong time since an update, I think it was around FF13.
It is greyed out on ALL machines I know of... I have seen the bug on several machines with completely independent bookmarks, seen on multiple windows versions
Tried all tricks and NONE worked. Just tried to start in safe mode (did not help) tried to start in safe mode and reset EVERYTHING - but the bug persists.
Googling the bug gives thousands and thousands of hits, so this is still an existing bug NOT related to add-ons.
The reset saves the bookmarks, so I guess the bug MIGHT be found inside the bookmark-database corrupted at some upgrade.
If this is not a bug, but an intentional removal of a function, then it should be hidden not greyed.

Thanks for the quick response. :)
I added the not too fantastic
OPEN ALL IN TABS 1.0.rev698
that adds the function back in a slightly awkward way.
....But why not keep it as an About:config option?
But even better would be to replace it with "Open all UNREAD in tabs"
:-)
