For example, when I enter the search term "armoires" and get a search results page/tab with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and have the Sears page open in a new page/tab. I want to be able to close the Sears tab and be able to use the search results tab again.

Google has a setting for this. What it does it add an HTML instruction (target="blank") to each result link, which causes Firefox to open it in a new tab. If you uncheck the preference to divert new windows to new tabs, then Firefox will open the result in a separate new window.

This preference is stored in a cookie, so if you clear your Google cookies often, you will need to reset it each time. You can do that here:

(On that page, Google refers to a new window.)
