When i`m searching something in google and click on the link, it`s opening in the same tab. How set it to open in new tab? I don`t want to use ctrl, middle button of the mouse or plug-ins. Is it possble?

There is a preference hidden in about:config that will affect searches done via the Search Bar and open them in a new tab, but maybe not searches done via the URL Bar (I haven't tried it there yet - I keep forgetting to try it there).

browser.search.openintab - double-click to toggle that pref to true and then restart Firefox.
