is there a way? When I type something in the search engine feature, is there a way that when I press enter to search, it comes up in a new tab, rather on the page I am using?

Yes, and I presume you mean both the search engine results, and the pages opened from the results. Without making any changes you could always use '''Alt+Enter''' once you typed something into the search bar, or the location bar so that it would appear in a new tab. From the search results page you could always use "'''Ctrl+click'''" or "'''Ctrl+Shift+click'''" to open link n a new tab * Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm * Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help<br>https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts The configuration entries of interest: * '''browser.search.openintab''' user set boolean '''true''' * '''browser.tabs.openinnewtab''' user set boolean '''true''' Documentation * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tabs_config.htm * http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries (I use keyword shortcut of :"aboutconfig:" ) * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tabs.htm Google settings: * [x] Open search results in a new browser window. :By default Google opens links in its search results to the same new tab, but I believe that the configuration changes supplied also fix that because I no longer have to use the keyboard shortcuts to override.

Excellent, thank you very much. Works just how I wanted it :)
