When I conduct search in the address bar Firefox takes me to google search results, I click/select a search result and nothing happens. I must right click search result and select "Open in new tab". This does not happen when using other search engines. How do I fix?

Thank You in Advance,

hi, you could try to clear the cache & cookies from google.com and reload the page.

if this didn't help, then please test if you can replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here... Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
