User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20110928 Firefox/7.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.4.1 Build ID: 20110928161145 Steps to reproduce: Highlight a word on a page. Select "Search Google for" [word]. Actual results: Google searches for [word] {in a new page}. Expected results: The value of browser.search.opentabforcontextsearch should be able to be toggled, on the fly, by using a key-modifier. [Appears that Firefox does not support that Preference?] Users should be able to control where the search takes place. Possibly also defining whether focus is given to the search. SeaMonkey opens Search Google for, in a new window (by default). Firefox opens Search Google for, in a new tab. Currently we can select between those two methods by setting the referenced Preference. RFE for a key-modifier to be able to toggle the meaning of the defined setting on the fly. So if default, SeaMonkey default, is to open in a window, then holding down, say the Shift key, should toggle for that search alone, such that it opens in a tab instead. Best scenario (enhanced RFE) would allow for multiple options: > open in new window > open in new tab > open in current tab > open with focus > open without focus Ctrl, Alt, Shift, could be used as modifiers. [Appears that Alt cannot be used as a modifier?] Similar: Bug 610595 - Right click search should open in a new window when tabbed browsing disabled
