Do not close the notification menu when a notification's item is opened in another tab

+3
−1

Currently, acting on a notification's item closes the notification menu, which makes it impossible to open all notifications in new tabs without having to reopen the notification menu.

The only way to open the item without having the menu closed, is to right-click on the link to bring up the context menu, and choose to open it in another tab. That however, means the notification does not get marked as read, thus requiring even more steps. Holding down CTRL or CMD when clicking on it (which the browser interprets as opening in a new tab), does mark it as read, but also leads to closure of the menu.

How are you opening the items in new tabs? When I do so by right-clicking, the notifications pane stays open in the original tab.

Works fine for me too if I open the items in new tabs (using right click and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/right-links/ )
