I use google search.When I click on a suggestion in the search results tab, I want it to open in a new tab and keep the search results in the original tab.How?
For example, when I enter the search term "armoires" and get a search results page/tab with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and have the Sears page open in a new page/tab. I want to be able to close the Sears tab and be able to use the search results tab again.

Google has a setting for this. What it does it add an HTML instruction (target="blank") to each result link, which causes Firefox to open it in a new tab. If you uncheck the preference to divert new windows to new tabs, then Firefox will open the result in a separate new window.
This preference is stored in a cookie, so if you clear your Google cookies often, you will need to reset it each time. You can do that here:

(On that page, Google refers to a new window.)

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
- In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
- Look to browser.search.openintab change its value to true.
With this configuration your search will be open in a new tab
