The updated Firefox 13 switches focus when using the context menu search e.g. "Search X for Y", in Firefox 12 and prior the tab would open, but I would not loose focus.

There appears to be no setting to revert back to old behavior.

hey jamie, you can enter about:config into the location bar of firefox, confirm the info notification (in case it shows up), search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground & toggle it to true by double-clicking it. that should bring back the old behaviour...
