When highlighting a word or phrase in a website, a right click will bring up a menu saying 'Search yahoo for '…. That's great, but is there a way to get it to the results to open in a new 'window' instead of a 'tab'? I know that many or maybe most users like the tabs, but I'm not one of them. I've searched the web, but all I get is how to open in tabs. I've got Firefox set to always open in 'new window', but when I click the the search yahoo for, it always opens in a tab. Drives me nuts. Can anyone help?

Are you using any Yahoo add-ons? All websites, some a few?
