The search engine used to open selections in a new tab. Doesn't do that anymore. How do I get it back?

I prefer Yahoo search. In previous versions of Firefox, the search engine would pull up the list of possible websites. Clicking on the link would open that website in a new page. It doesn't do that anymore. It simply opens the link forcing me to continually go back and forth instead of just being able to close the new tab if it's not what I'm looking for. How do I get the old way to work again?

Chosen Solution

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.


Right click the link and select Open New . . . .

Thanks for the help. It doesn't work exactly like it used to but it is much better. Thanks again.

Glad to help.
