To everyone, use Tab Mix Plus instead, for this and many other features usable in a easy way. Like full control of where your links/search queries/url inputs/etc. open and other stuff.

It’s a shame to no longer support such a useful feature.
In my opinion, this should be the default action when searching, because you generally don’t want your current page to be overwritten.
Fortunately, Tab Mix Plus is now officially updated for Firefox 3.

This was my pet peeve when I switched from Netscape 9 to Firefox. In Netscape 9, you can specify in the Tab Preferences to open all search results either in the active tab or in a new tab. As there was no option in Firefox to do this, I had to experiment with different keystroke combinations to make the search results open in a new tab.

You can also middle-click the search button.

While this is a useful feature, the pref. that enables it is no longer supported. It hasn’t been fully removed yet, but it only half-works (try clicking the search icon with the mouse), and it’s not clear how much longer it will survive. It will continue to be available if you use an extension like Tab Mix Plus, though.
