I used to be able to search a subject and have the "results" show up with a new tab, but now it opens the result in the same tab, how do I fix this?

I have tried repeatedly to get the options section to show how to do this but everything changed with the "new-and-improved(?)" Mozilla!

Could someone please explain to me how to get this to work like it used to (open search results or links in a new tab)??? PLEASE, it is driving me nuts since my slow @ssed computer and AT&T (should be AS&S without the &) internet, makes me remember the bad old days of the 286 computer load times:

Down memory lane...

Power button on ==> go take a Shower, Shave, and the other S ==> Make coffee ==> enable program in command line (pre-windows) ==> fix breakfast and another coffee cup ==> curse at computer because it made you forget to add another switch to your command line...

How many remember those days?!

They say laughter is the best medicine, except I'm not laughing about the new Mozilla anymore :(

Could you clarify where you are doing your search?

For Firefox's "Search bar", which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste sear and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.search.openintab preference to switch it from false to true.

If you test, does it work?

For searches from other places, could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

If you use the Tab Mix Plus extension, you might have set this in its extensive set of options instead of using about:config directly. See the top part of this screen shot:
