269735 - Google toolbar (upper corner) search does not open in new tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 219532

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Jeremy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When you search for anything using the google toolbar in the upper corner, the
google search opens, by default, in the current window/tab you are working in. 
It makes more sense to open a new tab when you use this feature, as opposed to
overriding the current page you are viewing with the new results.  A better idea
would be to allow users to choose.  I did not find this option in the firefox
preferences.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Seach for anything in the google toolbar, click <enter>
2. Search results are displayed in current window/tab
3. 



Expected Results:  
The software should open the search results in a new tab or at least provide the
option of doing so.

Shift-enter should open a new window.
Ctrl-enter should open a new tab.

alt-enter opens a new tab
shift-enter and ctrl-enter work the same as enter only, they open it in the same
tab.
