What I want to do 

Open new tab when searching from search bar

What I tried 

Go to about:config, set browser.search.openintab to true

Version 

Firefox 80.0.1 (64bit) on Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

  1. In about:config set browser.search.openintab to true.
  2. Open https://mozilla.org/ (Any non-search engine page will do.)
  3. Enter search query in the search bar
  4. Click the arrow in the search bar

Expected behavior 

Open a new tab, searching with the query.

Actual behavior 

Opens the search result page on the current tab.

Yes, there is a bug on file for that. Firefox opens a new tab if you press the Enter key to submit the search from the Search Bar, but not if you click the button.

Thank you very much. I didn't notice there's another bug reporting system.

I think I don't have anything to add to that thread but I'll use there when it's clear that it's more a bug report rather than support question.

I hope they could fix the bug in near future.
