154740 - Web search for should open up new tab instead of new window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 133117

(SeaMonkey :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Bob Horvath]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020626
BuildID:    20002062609

It would be nice if the "Web search for" feature opened up a new tab with
results instead of a new window (or was configurable).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.select some text on a web page
2.right mouse and select "Web search for"
3.

Actual Results:  New window opens up with search results

Expected Results:  New tab is opened with results.

I suppose there are variations on how it would be implemented to deal with
people preferences for tabs vs. no tabs.  Ideally it would be configurable.
