Have you ever wondered if you can make a new tab open at the right-side end of the tab’s list on Firefox? Firefox has a lot of customizable features and this is one of them.

Tweak a setting and Google will open a search result link in a new tab instead of your current tab.

Make Firefox automatically switch to newly opened tabs by opening the "Options" window, clicking "Tabs," and then enabling the "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option.

Tip To quickly open a link in a new tab on Google Chrome, hold down the control button while clicking on it with your mouse. On a Mac computer, hold down the command button rather than control.

You'd think setting up Firefox or Chrome to open search queries in a new tab would be a simple settings tweak. You'd be wrong.

If you're doing more than a simple search on Google, you probably want those links to open in a new tab instead of the current one, so your original results are always available.

You can easily open a link in a new tab on your Mac computer by right clicking or using a keyboard shortcut.
