Adding a option for this in "Manage Search Engines..." would make it not nearly as impossible for a "average joe" to get searches to automatically open in a new tab. Add something like this to the "Manage Search Engines" dialog: [X] Open all searches in a new tab Reproducible: Always

Comment on attachment 255447 [details] [diff] [review] Add a checkbox to the engine manager linked to "browser.search.openintab" I don't really like the idea of adding yet another checkbox here. Perhaps this should be an option under the "Tabs" preference pane, or maybe we should have a "Search" section somewhere in the prefs (either it's own tab, or under "Advanced". Or maybe this is just WONTFIX. Need a decision from beltzner or mconnor on this.

IMHO, things should be coherent and we should avoid having some option in a panel and some in another one. So I think both "show search suggestions" and this option should be together, in option panel or in the SEM.

Yes, that's what I was proposing. Sorry if it wasn't clear :)

IMO, this is a WONTFIX. That pref was added for the search dialog, its not really something I think we need/want to keep supporting, let alone add UI for.
