Okay, I'm trying it.
1) How do you make it where EVERY new site you open from either bookmarks or in-page links open in a new tab WITHOUT using the keyboard? That is, you click and it automatically opens in a new tab, that won't replace whatever page is currently being displayed?
2) Why can;t you drag and drop imported bookmarks on the links bar?
3) Can you change custom bookmark icons to the default one? I don't see a way how to do it.

I right click > open in tab. Don't know of a way to make a left-clik open in tabs
2) Why can] I can - try View > Toolbats > Bookmark Toolbar
3) Can you change custom bookmark icons to the default one? I don't see a way how to do it.
I don't believe you can - those are sent by the server, no?

Well, in IE I can right-click on a bookmark and set it to the default IE icon.

As to question #1, the closest I have come is to get the Tabbrowser Preferences Extension
https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/m ... 8&vid=1345
and then goto Tools, Options, Tabbed Browsing, and then set the options as you see fit.
It still doesn't seem to do what I want though...only certain links it will open in a new tab, even though I have it set so links open in a new tab.
As to question #2, I haven't had a problem doing that, sorry. I can drag and drop any of the bookmarks to the links bar fine.

If that makes a difference, you may be happier with IE.

Okay, I dug up a way to disable bookmark icons. You can add this to either the user.js or prefs.js file
// Disable Bookmark Icons
user_pref("browser.chrome.site_icons", false);
user_pref("browser.chrome.favicons", false);
Another thing I carried over from IE:
Set your Home Page to whatever you want, but to block it from auto-loading when you open the browser, change your Firefox shortcut Target to this:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" about:blank

Go
here and install the SuperDrag&Go extension. It allows you to "drag" a link with your mouse to a blank space on the page. The destination link opens in a new tab without focus.
Works great for me!

For in-page links put the following in your user.js file:
user_pref("browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs", true);
Restart Firefox then go to Tools>Options>Advanced under the Tabbed Browsing section you will now have a new option. Check Force links that open a new window in then check New Tab.
