I upgraded to Firefox 13 and now my tabs behavior is changed. When I right-click a selected word and "Search Google for..." Firefox switches to the new tab even though the option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is NOT checked. When I close the new tab, focus is set on the tab next to the closed tab, and not the original tab. How do I get back the old and correct behavior in Firefox 12?

hey bmcv10, you can enter about:config into the location bar of firefox, confirm the info notification (in case it shows up), search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground & toggle it to true by double-clicking it. that should bring back the old behaviour...

You can also set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose to true on the about:config page.
