I run version 15 on net book and hp desktop selecting tab browsing. Works fine on net book and DID work OK on desktop but since return of desktop after fitting new motherboard ( a display problem) I cannot get tab browsing to work when I select a new search from Google search box. Net book is w7 starter and desktop w7 64 bit. All Firefox settings same on both machines

Sorted myself but will post solution in case others need it. Remembered what I had done ages ago when looking at how to stop all recent pages appearing on a new tab. To get new SEARCHES appearing in a new tab go to address bar and type about:config.................ignore the Dragons then go to browser:search:openintab and set to true
