Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

Hi,
One way would be to hit Alt + Enter after typing the search query.
Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
- type about:config in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
- if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
- Filter = browser.search.openintab
- in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
- close the about:config tab and test
- See:
- For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
- Also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries (click on "Browser", scroll down to browser.search.openintab)

About Google toolbar............
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.
