Everytime i highlight a word and right click it to "search google for" it switches to that new tab. This only started happening for the past two weeks. I already changed browser.search.context.loadInBackground to true in the config.

Also noticed this does not happen in private mode, but it does happen in troubleshoot mode.

Is there any way to change that? Thanks
