I updated to Firefox 159.0 and now when I click on a link it doesn't open the link in a new tab. I tried the extensions and they did not work. I also tried changing some of the setting in "about:config" and restarting Firefox after making the changes and the links still open in the same tab.

Thank you, Rafal

Hi Rafal, Firefox doesn't have a good setting for this, but Google does.

Possibly your Google setting was lost when a cookie was cleared? You should be able to find it here:

https://www.google.com/preferences#tabVal=1

Under "Other settings" look for "Results in a new window"

Success?
