From the Google search results , if I left-click a site, firefox does not open new site in a new tab. I have accessed tools/options/tabs and the ticked the box to open new windows in their own tab.

Use Ctrl left click

  • or right click and use open in new tab

The open in tab option you have selected is for where the action would otherwise open a new window.

For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the Google Search settings link at the top right.

Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.


The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.
For other links use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu.
Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
