Bug description:
  Epiphany handels opening bookmarks in new tabs different than Firefox.
  Usually, when you open a bookmark in a new tab via a click on the
  mousewheel, a new active tab gets opened, with the bookmark as
  content. Epiphany instead opens links from my bookmarks in the
  background.

  This is quite inconvenient. When I browse the web, it's nice to open
  links you might find interesting in new tabs in the background. This
  way you browse e.g. through a news page and open article after article
  in the background. After browsing the mainpage you read the articles
  inside the tab. But when i open a page from my bookmarks I want it
  active now. I don't want to look through my list if open tabs to find
  it.

  Firefox uses two "about:config" keys to define the way bookmarks/links
  are opened.

  browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground = false
  browser.tabs.loadInBackground = true

  These keys exist also in Epiphany with the same values. But Epiphany
  ignores the "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" key.
