I have no problem with opening new links in new tabs, that doesn't switch to it automatically but this Search Google for option does, how to stop this?

hi, you can change it like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground. double-click it and change its value to true.
