How do I stop switching to a new tab when I highlight something and right click "search google"
So whenever a highlight a word and right click it to "Search Google for..." it switches to the new tab that just opened. How can I stop it? I've already tried going to Tools > Options > and disabling the thingie, but that only works for links that I open in new tabs. Not for the google searching.
So there any way to stop it?
Thanks!

hello, here's how to change that behaviour: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground. double-click it and change its value to true.

Great that worked! Thanks!
Thanks - but I find it strange that so many options in Firefox that affect usability (sometimes it's the little things that matter) require us to ask in Mozilla Support, then find some hard-to-find setting in about:config!
While I'm glad this worked it's definitely NOT user friendly.
