How does it work in Safari?

Simple.

Put all the bookmarks you need to open in a single tab in one subfolder. Wa la!

Actually, you are wrong as well, hahaha!

You don't even need to right/control click...just simply click once on the folder in the toolbar and then hit "Open in Tabs"...

Actually, you're both wrong! All you need to do is third-click (scroll-wheel or center button) on a folder of bookmarks. Now if I could just get that stupd Open in Tabs item to go away.

Doesn't work with my scroll mouse...also, that theory won't work with Apple mice!

If you're using third-party mouse driver or something, it may not work. Also, Cmd-Click will open a folder in tabs.

Right/CTRL clicking is faster, but CMD-clicking is the best way to do it

keyboard commands for switching and jumping between tabs can be found in the tabs preferences in Safari.

i'm curious to know how to open a single bookmark from a bookmark bar pulldown (folder) into a new tab

When i choose a bookmark from a pull-down all it does is open the link in the same tab

holding modifier keys does nothing....

Any Ideas?

Sticking a folder of bookmarks on the Bookmarks bar, all you have to do is single-click it - the leetle pop-menu shows a "Open as tabs" selection, which will open each item in a separate tab.

Brilliant.

And if your middle-click doesn't work by default.. change it's setting for Safari (with your mouse driver) so that the middle-click is cmd-click. Then middle-click on links (to open new tabs in the background) and on tab groups!

Do any of the SafariXtras patches change Apple-N to open a new tab rather than a window -- Apple-T for a new tab is a bit awkward

The earlier posts really doesn't answer my earlier question.....

How can you select a bookmark to open in a New Tab??
