Right-click Google search - put in new tab or window??

Safari has a feature that allows one to right-click on some text and then Google that text. When using that feature, it Googles the text, but the new webpage of the Google search for that text appears in the same browser window that one was originally in.
When I go into "Preferences," there is an option for links to be opened in a new window or new tab, but I don't see any place to choose to have the right-click-Googling feature open the search results into a new window or tab.
Does anyone know whether it's possible to have the right-click Google results appear in a new tab or window?

I find this annoying as well... I love Firefox and truly appreciate the developers work on it, but why would you re-arrange the order of these two options?? It's like making a new model of a car and putting the brake on the right and gas pedal on the left.....

    hello sir/mam
    i just to open every Google searched link in ( new tab ) in same webpage , when i click the link
    what to do
    please replay
    thank you

    I am not sure what you want. Do you want to open links in a new
    tab / window, or the same window you are in?
    Type '''about:preferences#general'''<Enter> in the address bar.

  • How do I get FF to focus on a new tab? I right-click and choose "Open in New Tab" and the Tab appears in the Tab bar but I cannot access or see the new page.

    I open FF ver.10. My Home page is Google Search. I use a Bookmark and open, say, Hulu.com. I select a link by right-clicking and choose "Open in New Tab" The little tab in the tab bar opens but I am still viewing the Hulu.com main page and cannot view the new tab.
    This happens even if I use middle-click to open a new tab. It happens with all links on any website I visit.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Everytime I open a new window to browse, in this new window I would right click to open link in new tab but the new tab always shows up in the other window.

    I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?

    Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
    According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
    That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
    WORKAROUNDS
    That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

  • Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

    I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

    Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
    Your initial subject line:
    '''''Is there an option to <u>left click and open a bookmark in the same tab</u> and <u>right click to open bookmark in new tab</u>?'''''
    Your last post (3rd post):
    '''''Is there a way I can <u>left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab</u>...'''''
    '''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
    Right-click, '''<u>not left-click</u>''', has the "Open in new tab option".
    Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
    What are your Extensions?
    -List them.
    -You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
    To find out which Extension is causing the problem, <u>'''enable one-at-a-time'''</u>, restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

    I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
    Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....

  • Cursor focus is changed to address bar instead of google search box on new tabs in FF 17.

    I've seen several threads that describe the same issue - the cursor appears in the address bar by default on a new tab. I have not seen a single solution. Mozilla needs to sort this out because it's very annoying.
    This started happening only after I updated to FF 17. Until that point the cursor was in the google search box. It was just a FF update, no new extensions or add-ons. The only workaround I have is the Custom New Tab extension.
    I just don't want to have to install new extensions to add functionality every time they update to a new version that creates new issues. FF already lacks some basic tab management functionality which forces me to use extensions s.a Tab Utilities. It's been 17 versions already and FF still doesn't let me set up new tabs from Bookmarks, Address bar, etc, or multi-row tabs / bookmarks, new tab position / focus, right-click menu options, etc etc etc. Just don't make it worse guys.

    Why is the default behavior designed to behave that way? That is very annoying and many people have complained about this.
    For years the cursor in a new window or new tab would go to the first text menu like for me in the Google search box. This was always the way in Firefox till I started using 17.0.1 in Windows 7.
    It seems like this could be addressed and I doubt this was suppose to be the default behavior.
    It is actually one of the most annoying things about Firefox now, as this was something I use to do alot was start a new tab and start typing my search right away or just hit ctrl-v to paste something I'd just copied. Now that goes in the address bar and makes me spend more time fixing the bad address and stupid search results from that.
    Please someone give us a solution.

  • Firefox 29 When I right click to open in a new tab, the tab will open but it will be a blank page. Tried Firefox Safe Mode & with Ad On Disabled Nothing

    When I right click to open in new tab, the new tab will open but the page is blank. I have tried it in Firefox Safe Mode & with Add Ons Disabled, still doesn't work.

    Hi UKBlue,
    Is your new tab page set to about:blank? You can change this from the about:config page or you can restore defaults by resetting Firefox.
    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.

  • Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

    Hi.
    After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
    My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
    How this problem can be fixed?
    Thank you.

    hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

  • Right click to open link in new tab sometimes missing

    example:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StannardRockLight
    In Safari 3, I could right click on the image to the right and get the contextual menu item "Open link in new tab." In Safari 4, it's missing. However, if I hold down the command key and click, it does open in a new tab - so it seems to be an issue with just the contextual menu somehow.
    This problem doesn't occur with every webpage.

    Hi Donnie
    Seems if the image is contained within a frame, then no "save as" option appears. I suggest reporting the bug to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple.
    Alternative for saving is to click/drag the image to the desktop.

  • Using right mouse click in bookmarks and selecting new tab or window does not work anymore in firefow 4.0. no new tab or window opens. Still works if you open new via File menu.

    When you select bookmarks, find the bookmark you want, then right mouse button click you get a drop down menu giving you the chance to open a bookmark in a new tab or new window. This no longer works with firefow 4.0

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When right clicking and selecting, open in new tab and then repeating on a new link, the first link opens again??.. Only happens with OS X

    On a page with multiple links I like to right click a few links and get them to open in a new tab. However, about 50% of the time the first link opens twice. It only seems to happen with OS X but have not noticed any similar behaviour with other applications.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
    2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • Safari 3.1's right click problem opening links in new tabs

    For those of us who use a two-button mouse and like to open links in new tabs, Safari 3.1 has introduced problems that didn't previously exist. Right-click to open a new tab, then go back to the original document, and the problem appears. The mouse cursor no longer underlines links that are scrolled over. That makes it hard to tell if links are live or not. To restore that capacity, you have to left click somewhere on the page. Only then does normally underlining resume.
    A minor thing, but one that adds dozens of clicks to my day that weren't there before. Is there any way to avoid it?

    I have exactly the same problem, and i dont know what could be the reason. i tried different things, reapir permissions, reinstall Safari, clear the cache without any result. also if the link has a floating/bubble window (or what), it freezes too, and have to click somewhere else into the page to clear them. very annoying. =(
    ...on Windows it works correctly by the way...

  • When I click a link, it won't open in a new tab unless I right click and select open in new tab. How do I change it so that I can click on a link and it will open?

    I want to click on a link and have it open, how do I do that, without right clicking?

    Click the link with the scroll wheel.
