I often will highlight words or phrases on a page and then right-click, selecting "Search". Prior to upgrading to 13, the search would open a new tab and I would stay on the existing tab.

Now, however, the new tab opens and switches me to it! What do I need to change to go back to the old way?

Hi,

You can try to set the value browser.search.context.loadInBackground to true in about:config.
