Hi, I have Firefox 84.0.1 for Windows and I am trying to get the search bar (not address bar) to open its results in a new tab instead of in the tab I am currently on. For instance if I were to be on Wikipedia and to see a word that I wouldn't understand, I could search it on the search bar and the results open in a new tab, leaving me on Wikipedia.

Hi

Type about:config in the address bar and press Return. A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to continue to the about:config page. Search for " browser.search.openintab " Toggle the setting to "true"
