NO "Open in a new window"!


Ubuntu 16.04 latest version, has no way to open items in New Window, is this the way Firefox is going to be, or is there a work around or way to get "open in new window" installed?

I run Linux Ubuntu, it really has nothing to do with (supposedly) Firefox. When Firefox (latest version 59.2.02) was installed in the new version of Ubuntu I immediately switched to "Preferences" to load what I liked. One of those things is in the way you search. There is NO option for "open searches in a new window, therefore the question. Searches are all associated with "Tabs", witch I hate! Do you understand?

The Firefox preferences is a front end (Browser) for how you want your OS program to perform some tasks.

yes, we do, but do not see the same on our systems.
