That URL is part of a support thread; I'm not sure why you are getting that error. Google's search preference ([http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=425 Support Answer 425]) relates to what happens when you click a link in your search results page: whether it loads in the same tab or a new tab (or new window, if you don't divert new windows to tabs). So that's useful, but it doesn't address your request. The short term workarounds are: * If you usually search by pressing Enter, hold the Alt key to launch the search in a new tab -- setting the preference '''browser.search.openintab''' makes the Alt key unnecessary * If you usually search by clicking the magnifying glass icon, hold the Ctrl key to launch the search in a new tab or "middle-click" the button -- as far as I can tell, there is no preference to do this automatically Some tab-related add-ons might solve this problem. I saw one blog post saying Tab Mix Plus will change the magnifying glass behavior to always open in a new tab.

Both work Thanks!
