Dev channel update to 90.0.796.0 is live
Oh, I forgot ...
A bug I found and reported through send feedback last week in Canary has now appeared in this Dev build too. A few months ago Edge gained the feature I'd most wanted since Chromium Edge appeared in 2019: middle-clicking on a favourite in a drop-down favourites menu from the favourites bar opening the favourite in a new background tab but leaving the menu open so several favourites can be opened one after another without having to re-open and re-navigate the menu for each one. But it is now bugged. Middle-clicking on a favourite in a favourites bar drop-down menu still opens it in a background tab and still leaves the menu open - but uselessly as nothing now happens on clicking on a second favourite in the menu. To open a second favourite currently you have to actually close the menu, then re-open it. I do hope that this is fixed soon as it is a sine qua non for me to actually use Edge for browsing, as opposed to just running it briefly to check for bug fixes and new features..
Hello,
On Edge Dev 90.0.796.0 (Windows 10 21H1),
I have the same problem with the favorites bar and middle clicking on a favorite in the drop-down menu. If I want to open many favorites, I need to close the drop-down menu before to middle click another.
Also, Edge Dev crash when I try to play some videos on Facebook/Twitter. I'm forced to restart it and restore my previous session. It's tiring because I never know what video will provoke the crash, it's not all the video but some of them.
That it all.
Middle-clicking on a favourite in a favourites bar drop-down menu still opens it in a background tab and still leaves the menu open - but uselessly as nothing now happens on clicking on a second favourite in the menu.
DavidGB good find! This is certainly a bug, so I'll make sure the team is aware.
- Spoiler

Hi,
I just checked this on Edge Version 90.0.801.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
and I can still reproduce this bug, but only in favorites bar (including when clicking on arrow icon to view more and favorites in "other favorites" folder)
the problem doesn't happen when doing the same thing in the new favorites flyout.
