Unable to get to bookmark menu using "Tab"

Unable to get to bookmark menu using "Tab"

Firefox Nightly 152.0a1

I use shortcut Ctrl + B to open bookmark menu
Then I use "Tab" key to focus on the first folder and use down up enter keys to navigate without using mouse

Old Version. Notice the blue highlight blue box that used to come when you would press tab after pressing Ctrl + B

New Version

After bookmark menu was updated a few days ago

I have been unable to focus/highlight on the bookmark menu (ctrl + b) menu

The blue round box doesn't appear on the Bookmarks Toolbar folder even after I press on "Tab" key

I did try to use another new profile that have no themes, userchrome, anything. It had same result

Edit:

I have tried to access it by pressing Tab repeatedly and it works after focusing on other browser components one by one. It also works when I reverse Tab by pressing Shift + Tab to access it way more quickly.

But old version was smarter. It knew that since I recently opened the bookmark menu. It should immediately focus on the folder instead of trying to focus on other browser components like Collapsible sidebar button, Urlbar/Searchbar, Addon button.

I also noticed that I'm unable to open bookmarks from the bookmark menu using my mouse's middle click

Since I'm using Nightly. Should I expect this? Is it a bug? Do I have to report it somewhere or is it a intended feature? Do I wait for Firefox to fix and improve the new bookmark menu or issue a bug report
