whenever I search google by right clicking a keyword, I am redirected to the new tab of google search (It does not happens normally...) and the previous tab from which I have selected the keyword also starts to load the google search results. I have tried to reset the prefrences but it does not works...

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

You can set the focus via the Boolean pref browser.search.context.loadInBackground on the about:config page.
