^^ Middle click works on live links. How can you open search results in new tab from Firefox built-in searchbox using middle click?

Its always better to learn new things thats why I keep sharing these stuffs. There are always more than one way to all things.

Been using the scroll wheel button since I got firefox. Still amazes me when people haven't figured out how to use it and come up with longwinded and unnessecary (sp?) methods like the one above, which is quite annoying if you do intend to open search results in the same window. And yes, I know, some people do not have a middle mouse button, but most do.

agree, Alt + enter is much more easier to me.

or just hold alt and press enter. holding alt opens a new tab when you click or press enter.

TIP : Use Scroll Wheel Button Click Another method is enter the query in SearchBox and press Alt+Enter, and your result will be shown in new Tab. And this will work in IE and FireFox. Now coming to the use of Mouse Scroll Wheel Button. There's a very neat use of it. And many of us don't use it. Its a very neat tip. In FireFox, if you want to open search results in new tab, Just use your Mouse Scroll Wheel Button Click, and Search result will open in new tab. In IE this wont work, while Opera has 'Paste & Go' option. There is more use of it. Suppose you are browsing a a page full of various links and you want to open a link in new tab. You'll generally right click on that link and click on 'Open in new tab'. Instead, you try this, just Click on the link with Mouse Scroll Wheel Button Click and it'll Open in new tab. Cool !! Will work in IE or FireFox. I hope you'll start using this neat tip as majority of the present mouse comes with scroll wheel.
