Hi,

I know I have found this solution before, but can't find it again. Please help?

In FF 27.0.1, when I put the cursor in the search bar, type words and hit enter, it starts the search in the current tab. How do I make FF always start the search in a new tab when I hit enter from the search bar?

Thanks!
