@Drew1903 (The, REALLY, big, meaningful phrase here is, "For me...")
I doubt Chrome and Firefox and most common browsers in the market did that just for me ... !!!

@MarsMas
Fine thought! Except, it's 1st thing on the list/Rt Clk menu
When one Rt Clks on a Fav Bar item... This, ALREADY, exists in IE
And Edge
AND Edge C

Yes that version had problems with favorites page but got fixed in the next builds.
funny thing about Canary and Dev is that the same problems Canary has get passed on to the Dev, except that Dev channel gotta wait 7 days to receive the fixes but Canary channel usually gets it in a day or two. gods help the beta testers that need to wait 6 weeks @_@@

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

Hi @HotCakeX, you will often see issues in Canary that are fixed within a couple of days, as the builds roll out. We try to pick the most stable builds each week for our Developer channel, but sometimes an impactful bug slips in. This should not happen too frequently, and as we get more of our features fully complete, the frequency should drop even more. Beta should be even better, and we will be servicing bugs that get reported as we go. The major release will come out about every six weeks, but there will likely be other updates for one-off bug fixes in between. 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

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.

@MarsMas
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,
Drew

@HotCakeX I understand if i am doing it the wrong way, Edge should not allow me to do so
