If you use Mozilla Firefox search bar a lot, you must be annoyed by the default behavior to open search result in the current page. That’s mean you will lost what ever you currently viewing, overwritten by the search result. Worry no more, here is a good news for you, you actually can change Firefox behavior to always open search result in a new page.
Good news by Firefox advanced configurations
As probably guess, ALL this secret functions nowhere to find in the normal options dialog, it is in hidden advanced configurations. Follow me.
- Click on the address bar (shortcut, CTRL + L), to change focus to address bar.
- Type about:config and press enter. A new page will open with bunch of things.
- Lets get rid of whatever we don’t need by typing search in the filter bar.
- Still a lot of things there but we are only interested with browser.search.openintab line.
- Double click that line and you will see the value changed to true (the default value is false, that’s mean search result will always open in current page)
- You will noticed the line will be bolded to give visual help that the default value has been changed.
Now we are done, the effect will be activate immediately. Try type something in the search bar and you will see Firefox open the search result in a new tab.
