How do i open google searches in new tab?

Until quite recently I was able to open a Google search in a new tab by just clicking on the page link. Now I can't, even though my settings are set to do this. The only way I have been able to open in a new tab is by right clicking and clicking "Open Link in New Tab". What am I doing wrong?

For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] link at the top right.
Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
You need to allow cookies for Google (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to save that setting, otherwise you have to repeat it.

  • How to open google search in new tab?

    In Leopard you could hit Command and Return, and the search would open in a new tab, this however doesn't work with Snow Leopard. What shortcut can I use to open my google search with a new tab, rather than over the existing page.
    Thank you.

    I have that option checked and use that function all the time. I'm wanting my search from the search bar to open in a new tab, not the existing page. Command - click only works if you click on a link within a page.
    Thanks for replying.

    Please help me on this issue.<br />
    Thanks in advance.

    Google normally routs the result link to their safe browsing testing service via an onmousedown event that modifies the link (href attribute) if you click it once.
    You can check if this bookmarklet makes a difference:
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('#search a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>
    Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    All these programs have free versions.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • Customising the google search and new tabs inconsistency

    1. Is there a way to customise the google search bar to the effect of what [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/50999/ this] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/51000/ this] add-ons do?
    2. I don't like the inconsistency of FF3 when it comes to opening new tabs: CTRL+T opens a new tab at the very right, whereas clicking on a link or searching from the context menu opens the new tab next to the currently open tab. There should be a way to make FF work one way or the other.

  • I tried some software that changed my settings to use Bing, How can I change my settings to have google as my new tab search. Not the upper right bar the center

    Not the upper right the center one when you click on new tab

    I'm guessing you want to use Google as your new tab page?<br>
    You can do that by editing about:config:
    *Go to about:config (via Location Bar)
    *Click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" to proceed.
    *Search for '''browser.newtab.url'''
    *Right click and click Modify > type '''www.google.com'''
    *Then click OK to accept changes
    *Restart Firefox and see if the new tab pulls up as Google.

  • How do I stop Google search opening in my address bar

    My address bar in Safari has recently changed so that Google search gets involved every time. How can I restrict Google search to the Google homepage and prevent it from getingt involved when I type addresses into my address bar? Cheers Owen

  • How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

    On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

    The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.

    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • How do I set Firefox preferences to automatically open links in a new tab (just like Firefox3) ?

    For example, when clicking on a link from a Google search, how can I have the link open automatically in a new tab as opposed to replacing the current page ?

    Hey, cor-el -- long time no see! Hey, I have a problem, & my brain isn't working well enough to suss it out at the moment. :(
    For some reason in the last week or so, links selected from either bookmarks or address bar no longer open automatically on selection, plus google search has disappeared from the nav toolbar . (Don't ask "what add-ons have you updated?" I don't know, & the add-on manager says I haven't done any recently.)
    I checked about:config for browser.search.openintab; value is still set true. I toggled it false, restarted FF, then re-toggled true & another restart -- no joy. :(
    I'm running 7.0.1 (release channel) on my work machine & the latest 8.x beta candidate at home; both exhibit the same behavior, so I'm assuming it's not a beta bug. What am I missing? I know it has to be something simple, but my brain refuses to compute. I know I could use safe mode & successively re-enable my add-ons, but I don't really have the time or mental clicks available.
    I'm hoping it's something simple since I really don't have time to plod through everybloodydangthing for the one bad value that I'm sure is causing it. :/
    Regards & Happy Monday!

  • How do you clear google search history

    How do you clear google search history. I tried the clear history in settings and all the old searches are still there

    In Safari, use the open book symbol to go to bookmarks. At the top of the list is "History", tap history and then tap the clear button on the bottom left of the screen.  That clears the search history as well.

  • How to open Bing in a new tab?

    I know that most people are looking for the way how to remove Bing from a new tab, but I want to make a vise versa :) I have already found the way how to set up Firefox to open Bing in a new tab.

    If you read [[How do I customize the toolbars?]], you can find the customize box. Simply drag the Google search bar into this box, and it will be gone :)

  • I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

    I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

    That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
    You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
    Files send this way will always open in a tab.
