How do I stop Firefox from opening a new window when I go to a search item?
When I do a search, and click on a topic, Firefox opens a new window on the tool bar at the bottom of my screen. How can I stop this from happening?

Hello dannyswolf,
do you mean the small window with the link preview/page loading status ?
see: What do link previews look like?
if yes then you need the Status-4-Evar add-on (it is also in the above link)
thank you

I'm guessing you use Google for search. There is a setting in Google search to open each result in a new window. (When you use tabbed browsing, that means each result opens in a new tab.) You can check on whether you have that setting turned on as follows:
On a Google results page, click the button on the right side with the "gear" icon, then click Search Settings from the drop-down list. At the bottom of the page is the setting to open results in a new window.
Is that the culprit?
