As of last week I can no longer open an individual search result in a new tab. Now I can only open the result in a new window or in the same tab as the search results. Firefox did give an option under advanced settings to do this but that option has been replaced with "open in a new window." I want to open it in a new tab.

Do you mean the results from a search via the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar or the Firefox Google home page (www.google.com/firefox) ?

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.

You need to allow cookies for Google (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to save that setting, otherwise you have to repeat it.

For the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar you can set the pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I tried the about:config solution numberous times and although the browser.search.openintab is set to “true” and the ff browser was restarted, it continues to open searches in the same tab which is what I am trying to change.
