Opening search bar results in a new tab

My search bar opens the results in a new tab, but, when I click on one of the links on the results page, FF no longer remembers the search results page (ie. the Back button does not work). This problem goes away if I set the search bar results to open in the current tab (about:config > browser.search.openintab > default). Please tell me how to get the back button.

Hi,
You can try to set the value '''browser.search.context.loadInBackground''' to true in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config].

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Something is hijacking my home page and changing it to MSN. I switch back to my preferred page and something switches it right back. Also putting a bing search bar in every blank new tab. I hate both. How do I remove?

    The only thing I changed today was I allowed the update to Youtube HD. Now I cannot save my home page. New tabs and new sessions all are reset to MSN. Plus the annoying Bing bar pops up in every new tab. PLEASE PLEASE help me get rid of these. If I really liked MS, I wouldn't be such a Firefox fan.

    An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
    Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that get rid of the extra tab?
    Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

  • Is there a way to make Search Bar results appear in a new tab (as opposed to in the current tab)?

    I'm new to Firefox, but find it a vast improvement over IE. I just find it cumbersome to have to open a new tab before I use the Search Bar...I would much prefer an option akin to "Search results appear in new tab."
    Thanks for the help!

    Edit: I found it.
    This preference can be changed using about:config
    (1) Type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter (click the button promising to be careful, and please do be careful!)
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''search''' and pause until the preferences are filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.search.openintab''' to change it to true. You're done, you can close about:config now.

    Are you a keyboard person or a mouse person?
    Using the keyboard, after typing your query, hold the Alt key while pressing Enter to open the search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold Alt when pressing Enter to open that site in a new tab.
    Using the mouse, hold the Ctrl key while clicking the magnifying glass icon.
    Is there a way to ''always'' open search results in a new tab without having to use Alt or Ctrl? Hmmm, maybe, I haven't researched that.

  • When using the search bar, is it possible to get the search results in a new tab?

    In the old Google toolbar, it was possible to view the search results in a new tab. Google toolbar is compatible with Firefox 7, so I have to use the Firefox Search Bar. However, it always gets the search results in the current tab. Can this be modified?

    Yes. Open a new tab and type or paste ''about:config'' into the location bar, hit enter, and hit enter again to get past the warning. Then paste ''browser.search.openintab'' into the filter box that shows, then double-click on the ''browser.search.openintab'' line to toggle it (it will switch to bold).
    If you'd rather an addon just do the above for you and add a menu option for it, try this:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchontab/
    Alternatively, you can type a search into the search bar and press ''alt+enter'' instead of just enter to open your search in a new tab.

  • When I open a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar, it opens in a side bar instead of a new tab. How do I change this?

    When I open a bookmark from the bookmarks toolbar, it opens in a side bar instead of a new tab or window. How do I change this to open a new tab?

    Right-click on the bookmark and select Properties. De-select the setting "Load this bookmark in the sidebar"

  • I can't open a New Tab. Neither by clicking the + on the Tab bar, nor by File New Tab (or Ctrl+T).

    When I open Firefox, I can see the homepage. When I try to open a new tab, I can't neither by clicking the + on the Tab bar, nor by File>New Tab. However, if I press a link in my home page, it opens in a new tab. ???

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Searchbar result in a new tab

    Hello is it possible open a search result in a new tab instead of the current tab while using the search-bar?

    Thank you very much for the swift reply.
    It worked.
    It seems like
    '''browser.search.context.loadInBackground;true'''
    AND
    '''browser.search.openintab;false'''
    would achieve what I wanted.

  • How to open a Live Bookmark in a new tab by default?

    Is it possible to open a RSS / webfeed in a new tab by default? I mean, open a post from any of my feed streams in the Bookmarks Tool by a single click — not middle click, nor right click.
    Is there something I can change or create at about:config?
    Thanks a lot.

    Sorry again, Xircal. I've been taking a look at several add-ons from that search results but seems there's no function doing that simple task I'm asking for.
    I think there's problem could be solved by an advanced configuration at ''about:config'', but I have no idea. :(

  • Opening a web page in a new tab appear web page from the history

    When I like to open a web page in a new tab, is opening a BLANK page and in the new tab's address bar appear a random web page address from history .

    Try performing a clean reinstall.
    Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

  • MAC - Can't open a link/URL in a new tab inside a folder

    I can't open a link/URL in a new tab inside a folder from a Mac. I am sure I can do that in PC. Please advice. Thanks in advance.

    Does the URL go to a regular web page, or another kind of file (e.g., PDF, PowerPoint)?
    If you right-click the link and choose Copy Link Location, then paste to the address bar and press Enter, does Firefox load the link as expected?

  • Firefox STILL does not open the home page when a new tab is selected

    I have just 'upgraded' to FF4 and expected that the irritating 'new tab homepage load situation' would have been resolved by now: sadly, it looks to STILL be around.
    MS IE has been loading the homepage DIRECTLY when a new tab is selected for about FOUR YEARS now, so I'm staggered that such a simple but very useful feature is not available in Firefox.
    The obvious question is WHY??
    In IE, you don't have to keep hitting the home page button to carry out a search in google when a new tab is selected, and IE does NOT need an 'add-on' to incorporate this functionality; it really is quite irritating that the function is still not built-in to FF, and the coding requiret to incorporate the function ain't rocked science Mozilla people - WHY has this not been put into effect by now?

    Some people prefer a blank tab because it takes no time to load. Some people prefer their home page. Some people prefer a list of most frequently used sites. It would be convenient if all of these options were built in, but obviously no one stepped up and made it a priority.
    By the way, another way to search in a new tab is: Using the search box (on the toolbar), after typing your query, either press Alt+Enter or Ctrl+click the magnifying glass. This opens the search in a new tab and saves that step.

  • How export to csv work in safari browser? In my application export to csv open like a raw data in new tab. But other browsers working great!. Need to open in a csv file or save it as a csv file.

    How export to csv work in safari browser?

    Need to open in a csv file or save it as a csv file.
    Please suggest me. Thank you in advance!.

    Hi Adrian,
    Why don't you try any another software for opening CSV files then Notepad ? According to my experience, you can use these softwares to open an CSV files and they are:-
    Microsoft Excel
    Open Office Calc
    Google Docs
    Also there is an additional tool available known as CSV viewer. You may try this, download it from here http://www.csvviewer.com/
    I've never used Notepad for opening CSV files, because sometimes it contains some symbols which are not not at all compatibile with Notepad.

  • When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

    I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
    I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

    If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab.<br />
    You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link
