Using Firefox 15 windows 7 and Google search option, how do I have Search Bar results open in a new tab?
I tried the Google settings link in the other answers and selected the "open results in new window" option. When I save the settings, I get an error message: "The requested URL /en-US/questions/764917?s=open+google+search+bar+results+in+new+tab&r=8&as=s was not found on this server."

That URL is part of a support thread; I'm not sure why you are getting that error.
Google's search preference (Support Answer 425) relates to what happens when you click a link in your search results page: whether it loads in the same tab or a new tab (or new window, if you don't divert new windows to tabs). So that's useful, but it doesn't address your request.
The short term workarounds are:
- If you usually search by pressing Enter, hold the Alt key to launch the search in a new tab -- setting the preference browser.search.openintab makes the Alt key unnecessary
- If you usually search by clicking the magnifying glass icon, hold the Ctrl key to launch the search in a new tab or "middle-click" the button -- as far as I can tell, there is no preference to do this automatically
Some tab-related add-ons might solve this problem. I saw one blog post saying Tab Mix Plus will change the magnifying glass behavior to always open in a new tab.
