"search for" doesn't open in a new tab

when i open this site: http://www.ynet.co.il/home/0,7340,L-1421,00.html and then open a link that pops up a description of a tv program and then i highlight the name of the program and try to search it via right click through "search google for..."
it doesn't open a new tab at the same window as it use to do at the older version. and when i try to close the window it asks me if i'm sure to close multiple tabs although i don't see them.
another big problem is that the pop up blocker is not working as well as the previews version, i'm getting lots of pop ups and it's very annoying.

For the Google website you can set preferences on the Google results page via the gear icon in the top right corner, click that button to open the menu list and select Search settings.

You can set the Boolean pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page to open the search results page in a new tab when doing a search via the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar.

Is there a setting anywhere to enable middle clicking on alternative search engines in the new search bar to open in a new tab.

You can set this pref to true on the about:config page to open the results in a new tab.

I have just updated to 7.0.1 and suddenly my search results won't open in a new tab

I have just updated to 7.0.1 and suddenly my search results won't open in a new tab (let alone a new window - something I much preferred in the past) although this option is checked.
I even installed Tab Utilities Light Options - all of it's options work, but not for Search Bar.
When I choose one of the search results and want to view several items on that site (let's say a page with some 50 photo's), there seems to be no longer a way to return to the original search result. I have to start from scratch.
I hope this can be 'mended' because this is utterly annoying.
Greetings

Although 6 other people seem to have encountered this problem, nobody has offered a solution yet. Perhaps the following will put some Firefox gurus on the right trail.
When I said "my search results", I meant the results obtained with Google (standard when installing Firefox). Now I have tried another search engine (Dogpile) and there The tabs do work. Very strange, isn't it ?

WHEN I CLICK A LINK, IT DOESN'T OPEN IN A NEW TAB

I do a google search and then when I used to click a link it would open in a new tab. However it no longer does this. I have tried all the following remedies to no avail.
I have tried under Tools>Options>Tabs and checking and unchecking the open new windows in a new tab.
I have restarted the computer.
I have tried it in safe mode and still no luck.
I have tried typing in the url about:config and checked the specs but didn't work.
I tried "Open Link in new tab" add on
None of these damn things work and I'm frustrated as %$%$.
I am using firefox 25.0.1. What the heck can i do to fix things. Please someone out there help me with this I'm going insane.

How do I get Google search bar results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab?

When I use the Google search box, I would like the search results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab.

It turns out there is an about:config setting just for this purpose. Toggle browser.search.openintab to 'true', and all is well.

I would like to know how to force Firefox search box results to open in a new tab?

Results from any entry into the Firefox search box currently return in the tab that's open, regardless the location.
Is there a way to force "open in a new tab" without having to open a blank tab to keep the results from changing the current tab to the search resource location?

For the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar you can set the pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page.

Ctrl + left click doesn't open links in new tabs although I don't have Tabmix addon

In a previous thread, this question has been answered as related to Tab Mix Plus and resolved as "Disabled extension Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.6, now ctrl + left click opens links in new tabs"
However, I don't have Tab Mix installed at all. I have Tab Utilities 1.1.5. Probably that one interfers with the behaviour.
Is there a way to resolve this without giving up Tab Utilities or is there any other good tab utility addon that doesn't prevent Ctrl + left click?
This behaviour appeared after updating Firefox. Thus, I don't agree to consider it just a problem of addons but rather Firefox itself! I don't want to give up Tab Utilities until standard Firefox settings cover all (or at least most) of the functions it offers.
Thank you for any ideas and suggestions.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
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.

When I right-click, the same context menu opens up (the menu for hyperlinks, with "Open Link in New Tab" and the like) regardless of what/where I right-click.

Regardless of where I right-click on a displayed webpage (NOT the menu bar at the top of the screen), be it highlighted text, a blank spot in a webpage, or anything, the context menu for a hyperlink pops up (with the options for opening it in a new tab, window or private window, bookmarking), and none of the options actually do anything even if it is a hyperlink I'm clicking on. Using keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + clicking work fine. I haven't installed any plugins recently, and it only started a few hours ago. Wat do?

Try disabling Firebug and see how it is.

How can I get any of the search requests to open in a new tab and not the current window. I have just downloaded the new FF8

In my previous version of FF, whenever I did a search with any search engine the results opened in a new tab. Now with FF8 the results open in the current window which really is inconvenient. How do I get the search results to open in a new tab instead?
I have Windows xp FF8

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
Use the Filter at the top of the page to locate this pref: browser.search.openintab
If the value of the browser.search.openintab pref is false then toggle the value to true with a double click on that line.

Need help with refreshing open window in new tab

Hello all,
First, all my other problems I've solved. One last thing, being a newbie and trying things I've found on the net and them
not working, I can use your help one last time. My code has a Home page that peforms a Search (most of you have
I am sure done this), and from that search submit a window opens in a new tab (browser tab) and has the results on
it.
That works fine. What I'm having trouble with is being able to perform a new search and refreshing that open window
with the new data. Right now I am closing that window by clicking on the tab and then performing the search.
While it works, it's not user friendly.
So, I've tried the usual mywindow=window.open("url.cfm"); and then trying to grab that handle to refresh, but to
no avail. Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

Here's an example of how you could do it.
<script>
function submitAndFocusTarget(form) {
var win = window.open("", form.target);
form.submit();
win.focus();
</script>
<form action="index.cfm" target="mysearchwin" method="get" onsubmit="submitAndFocusTarget(this); return false;">
<input type="text" name="search" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="search" />
</form>

Firefox 22 /Open link in new tab not working

Just loaded FF22. Sometimes I have a slow connection speed and I need FF to open links in a new tab, so pages do not have to reload.
On the earlier version.
Say I went to www.google.com and clicked on search link, It would open in a new tab (without right clicking link, and specifying to "Open link in new tab" It would do this on all links automaticly.
Am I missing something here. Do I need to go into about.config to set this. Or go back to an earlier version of FF.

Here's my solution to the problem of making links always open in a new tab. This only applies to Mac OSX tho.
Get [http://blog.boastr.net/downloads-secondbar-bettertouchtool-2/ Better Touch Tool]. (This program creates keyboard and mouse/trackpad gesture shortcuts and it's free/donation BTW)
I set up several shortcuts in Better Touch Tool, but the relevant one here would be "Middleclick" which by default opens a link into a new tab. The gesture I set to do this happens to be three finger tap.
These are my configured gestures/shortcuts:
four finger swipe down -> sleep display
three finger tap -> middleclick
three finger double tap -> command-h (minimizes all open windows in the current program)
four finger double tap -> Application Switcher
I also enabled Windows Snapping (which mimics Windows windows snapping) and Windows Moving/Resizing (which the way I have configured it means, if I mouse over a window, then hold the Shift and fn buttons, the window will move around without having to hold the mouse/trackpad button, and if I hold just the fn key, the window will resize).

Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
#type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
#in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
#close the about:config tab and test
#See:
#*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

About Google toolbar............
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

This app tab feature doesn't work for me: "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change".

I installed the new firefox 4 browser today. In the description about the new app tab the following feature is claimed:
"Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change."
This doesn's seem to work for me. When I click a link in an app tab i just get redirected and my app tab changes. Is this a bug or a setting?

This is what the article here claims you need mobile share plan to work.
It shows it will work fine over wifi.

Links to files doesn't open in a new window

I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
Example:
LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
Are there any way to fix this?
Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
Best,
Mikey

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

In Firefox 4, how do I get back the context menu for the drop down list of the Location Bar so I can Open Link in New Tab, which I did often in FF 3?

Firefox 3 has a context menu for the drop down list of
the Location Bar. One option on this menu I used often
is "Open Link in New Tab" -- quite convenient.
This context menu has disappeared in Firefox 4.
Can I get it back?

*Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. 
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. 
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
