David Rubino A little strange issue i hope to fix .
when i double click URL in a "manage Favorites tab", it open 2 times, one in the current tab (manage favorites tab), and the other open in a new tab
Hi MarsMas, I am having trouble reproducing the issue you have described. When I double click on the items in Manage Favorites, they open in a new tab, and take me to that tab. If I am missing a step please let me know, so that I can reproduce the problem, and get a bug filed on our developers. Thanks - Elliot

Elliot Kirk ok, here how it goes,
Click edge menu/ Favorites / Manage favorites /
(Mange Favorites will open in a new tab)
Now when you double click any URL in that tab, it it will open 2 times, one in "Manage Favorites tab" (current) and another in a new tab
i hope i am clear this time

Hi Mars,
I cannot exactly repro what you describe. However, if you click on the Favs name, underlined with red, that is a link & will open on the same page as Manage Favorites. If you click anywhere else on the item's bar, that will open it in a new tab. I cannot make one open in both locations simultaneously; one or the other depending, as stated, where clicked.
Cheers,

It's normal behavior.
do you double click on links? Nope, same goes here.
You see the picture, if you click on the pink area (on the website's text name which when you hover your mouse over it the mouse cursor turns into a finger instead of arrow), that's where it's the link, you just have to either click using Left Mouse Button to open it in the favorites page or click using Middle Mouse Button to open it in a new tab or Right-click and select open in a new tab.
However, in the green area, if you double click, it will only open it in a new tab and not the favorites page.
This behavior is normal. whatever they change will ruin the current system, it's what is expected from links and bookmarks.
sorry but you're doing it the wrong way by double clicking on the website's text name which is a link, it should be clicked only once (either MMB or LMB). if you want to use double-click, just move your mouse a little tiny bit to the right and double click on the green area.
