This has bothered me for a little while now...

If I have a bookmarked site within a folder, I can't click the drop down arrow within the bookmarks bar and "tab-browse" to the contents within it?

Does that make sense? Anyone found a way around this other than manually opening a new tab and then clicking within your folders to go where you really want?

I don't get what your saying. Are you able to get the menu of items in the bookmark folder by clicking it? If so, is your problem that you aren't able to use the up and down arrows to move between the items in the folder to be able to select a specific bookmark?

You mean "command-click"?
I use this ALL the time to open bookmarks within folders in a new tab. Selecting an individual bookmark will open it in a new tab. If I go to a folder and command-click on the "open in tabs" at the bottom, they all open in new tabs.


[edit] that should be option-click . If I command-click, it replaces open tabs (when you option-click the 'sort bookmarks..' and 'add bookmarks' submenu items change..that's they clue to the new tabs vs replace tabs).
It's 2nd nature, so I don't think about what keys I'm pressing...

Heh, I knew I was being vague... I use tabbed browsing all the time, it's great.. but...

If I want to option click a bookmark to open a new tab that works fine.. brilliant.
If I want to option click a folder that contains lots of bookmarks to open them all in new tabs that works fine.. brilliant.
If I want to option click one bookmark from within the folder of bookmarks to open it in a new tab I can't... pants. (Instead it will load the bookmark within my current tab.)

Command-click does that for me (though it always DOES make it the front most tab..annoying but livable): Bookmark menu ->someFolder->command-click on someBookmarkitem = new tab opened

OK, I've tried all button combos (and settings within prefs), but nothing will get a bookmark that sits within a drop down menu (folder) to open in a new tab... however, I'm starting to think that this is a problem local to me, as I also have issues at times when trying to use the option key within Illustrator or Photoshop... hmmm... the plot thickens... maybe it's time to borrow and test a different keyboard from someone!
