How can I get a search result to activate a new tab?

In previous versions of Firefox that I used, whenever I typed a word or phrase in the search box in the upper right corner, the result automatically activated and appeared as a new tab (he could appear as a new window browser FF all together, I don't remember for sure).

In the version I use (6.0.2), whenever I have a search using said search box, the result is automatically displayed on the current page, I'm on. It changes the page I'm on.

How can you change or where is the parameter that has to be changed (I looked in 'tool', then '' options' and have not found a setting/choice for this action)?

I would greatly appreciate help on this, since I have concluded that it is frustrating for some time. This is the first time, I looked for a solution with you' well all. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

David

You can do one of the following:

  1. After you enter your search term in the search bar, you can middle-click or Ctrl + left - click on go (magnifying glass) button in the search bar (= Middle-click (press the scroll of the mouse wheel).)
  2. You can change a preference to always open a new tab when searching from the search bar by pressing the Enter key only (not the URL/address bar):

    OK, so, this problem has nothing to do with modules or extensions. I tried everything to implement options to stop bing to appear in a new tab when I opened. Then I went on other options. Here is how I fixed it.

    Open a new tab and in the address bar type: subject: config, click the button that says: I promise I'll be careful. in the search bar, type: newtab is the third option down that says searchinnewtabeenabledbyuser. Double-click on it and where it says 'true', ' false '. Restart firefox. your problem should be solved. Hope this helps other users of firefox extremely frustrated. Mozilla! Wake up! No one like bing!

  • How can I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I tried the option click Middle/ctlr.

    MSN is my home page and when I click the hotmail link in the upper left corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press Middle-click / ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only connection that I had this problem with to this day. Can you help me fix this problem?

    Hotmail will open in a new window because the code or instruction set on the MSN site says Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I suggest that you right-click on the Hotmail button and click on "Open link in a new tab. This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • How can I get photoshop to do not block a new copy of my picture after I applied an action?

    Whenever I have apply a photoshop action, photoshop applies the action to a new copy of my photo.  So if I'm playing with actions, I can get by with tons of copies of the same photograph.  I just want to be able to work on the original file I opened.  How can I get photoshop to do not block a new copy of my picture after I applied an action?

    Hello, perhaps one of the steps of the action is to create a copy of the image. This is a very good tactic if you want to avoid affecting your original image.

    Could you put the action, or a screencap of the action with the deployed action panel, if it's not too long?

  • How can I get the search bar on the home page of Firefox to stop mirroring of what is in the search toolbar?

    This seems to be something new, but I usually use the built in the toolbar to search at the top right of my Firefox window to search eBay and I usually go to the Firefox default Home/Start for searches on Google page. Now, it seems that whenever I try to search from the home/start page, I get the results of any search engine is specified in the top search bar. So if toolbar is set to 'eBay' and I search something on the homepage, only eBay results appear.
    I don't want to do. I want that the Google search home page every time, no matter what is on my search toolbar. It's really annoying to have to go to the search bar engine resume Google and then my search. I often open new tabs quickly find something relevant to what I'm working on because it requires less effort to hit Ctrl + T to open a new tab that is already on the cover with my cursor in the search field, than using the toolbar where I have to take my hands on the keyboard to use the mouse. How can I fix it. This "improvement" sucks.

    I forgot an obvious solution to this problem. I just changed my homepage of "www.google.com" rather than use the default Firefox homepage. In hindsight, it makes little sense to use the default Firefox homepage as an intermediary to Google anyway.

  • How can I get a search box?

    There was an address field and the other for research in less time. There is no field of research since the last change. I love this area. How can I get it back?
    Thanks for help.

    Open the Customize and set the toolbar to display items.

    • Firefox '3-bar' menu button > customize
    • If the missing elements are in the palette to customize then drag them back into the window to customize the toolbar
    • If you don't see an article on a toolbar and in the palette to customize, then click on the reset default button to restore the default toolbar configuration

  • How can I have the search results in a new tab?

    When I search something, regardless of the search engine used, the search results appear in the "active" tab Is there a way to configure Firefox to open a new tab and show the results of the research in this new tab automatically? Yes, I can do it manually by opening a new tab, to do research, but it would be much more "user friendly" it would be automatic.
    I use an Apple Mac Pro running Mac OS x 10.7

    To avoid extra keys or the steps and make the option to open search results in a new tab (or not) easy and convenient, install this add-on:

    As long that the checkmark next to "Open in a new tab", a new tab opens to the search results. Click the icon in the search bar, far left and click "Open in a new tab" to check or uncheck this option.
