firefox used to open links from google in the same tab while having links like gyazo links or anything like that open in a new tab. similar to how google chrome does it. then i reset firefox and now when i try to open links it opens them in the current tab. i know that i can right click and open in a new tab but it gets annoying doing that over and over again. is there anyway i can put it back how it was?

Most likely not. As far as I know, the decision to open in a new or current tab by default comes from the webpage, not the browser. However, there's an easy way to do this.

1. Try clicking the middle mouse button (the wheel). This is a built-in shortcut in Firefox to open the link in a new tab.

2. You could try an extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/

Other than that, I don't know.

You can set the behavior for opening results on the Google site via the Google Search Settings. You can click the gear icon to find the search settings item.
