Open in Tab Search. How to Change.

[docgin]

One of the features of CometBird that I detest is the Search Tab/Open in Tab feature. When you search for a word or term in the smart search bar a new tab opens each time. You can not begin a new search in an existing tab with out making a modification.

Here's how you can alter what I call the search tab feature in CometBird.

The result will be a Search Result in Same Tab

1. Type about:config in the search bar.

2. Click on the 'I'll be careful, I promise!' button.

3. Type browser.search.openintab into the ComitBird search field.

4. Double click the browser.search.openintab field.

5. It should now read False.

The end result is when you enter a search into the smart searchbar the search will not automatically open in a new tab. The search will open in an existing tab.

So, how will posting this into the Forum suggestions area help any CometBird user?

The suggestion is to alter this feature so it is not set by default in future versions of CometBird.

Thanks for moving the post to a more appropriate area and thanks for not being a d*** about it.

That probably won't happen. For every one that hates a feature, there's someone else who loves it. For everyone that wants a default set one way, there's another who wants it set the other way.
