This doesn't seem to be true. You can open bookmarks in tabs in two different ways:
- middle click on a bookmark in the 'Bookmarks' menu
- right click on a bookmark in the sidebar and select 'Open in new Tab'

Firefox shows a popup menu when right clicking on a bookmark from the bookmark menu - is that what you are asking for?
I think triggering menus from menus is just really bad, no GTK+ application does that, and we won't add support for it.

Hi :)
I didn't know about the middle-click!  That does the trick!  

The right-click menu in Firefox gives more options and it's probably what people are slightly more familiar with.  I usually have my side-bar set to Tree which is normally more useful to me.  

Thanks for letting me know about the middle-click.  That solves it for me.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
