how do i open google searches in new tab?

more options

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 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.

Thank you for your help, cor-el.
