Epiphany handels opening bookmarks in new tabs different that Firefox. Usually, when you open a bookmark in a new tab via a click on the mousewheel, a new active tab gets openend, with the bookmark as content. Epiphany instead opens links from my bookmarks in the background.

This is quite inconvenient. When i browse the web it's nice to open links you might find interesting in new tabs in the background. This way you browse e.g. through a news page and open article after article in the background. After browsing the mainpage you read the articles. But when i open a page from my bookmarks I want it now. I don't want to look through my list if open tabs to find it.

Firefox uses two "about:config" keys to define the way bookmarks/links are opened.

browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground = false
browser.tabs.loadInBackground = true

This keys exist also in Epiphany with the same values. But Epiphany ignores the "
browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" key.
