Every search i've done since the last update, Firefox open the new search in the old tab. I've already fixed the boolean valor in browser.search.openintab to true in about:config, but it's working only with google search (and not, i.e. with youtube search).

That combination is working for me:

  • browser.search.openintab = true
  • YouTube search plugin installed from YouTube (when the green + appeared on the magnifying glass icon on the search bar)
    • clicking the "one-time" icon
    • making YouTube the default search engine

How about other search plugins: do those work like Google or like YouTube?

I noticed you have several extensions. Could one of those be altering how the search bar works? You could test in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run

After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset).

Any difference?
