Setting preferences in Google search ... I can't get the "Open search results in a new browser window." setting to stick. It seems to revert randomly to the unset state. Other settings stick fine. Any ideas?

It's not an issue of whether the user saves or does not save the preferences, there are several factors that could be causing this. The KB link I posted above explains the issue & solution in detail.

How to fix preferences that won't save
This should help you out considerably. I also previously experienced this issue & other preferences not saving.
I always save my preferences when I exit from the search setting page ... the problem is deeper than that.
