Firefox 4 - using the awesome for search. I'd like the search results to show up in a new tab. They currently over-write the existing tab. I found in about:config a browser.search.opennewtab (or something close to that) and changed it to true, but that only works for the search box I guess, I don't have the search box on my toolbar. I'd also like any URL I enter to open in a new tab, too, for what it's worth. Thanks.

Well, since posting I have found that if I use alt-enter, the resulting search or URL opens in a new tab. Still like the new tab to be the default when just using the enter key, but this will do - when I remember to use it...
