"Add to Search Bar" is a good FF add-on if you use search box.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to set keyword search results to open in a new tab without changing global settings for all bookmarks/typed URLs? If so, I might switch to keyword search.

I guess that's something that I didn't really mention. Yes, the cursor has to be in the search field in order for this to work. I guess that’s something that I didn’t really mention.

Don't really care. I just use Yubnub and it's pretty much the only thing I use in the search bar. But wait, why do I leave it there? Why don't I just remove the search bar and use keyword searches? If there's an unlinked url on a page or forum (which happens so ridiculously often.....<_<), I can right click it, hit "search with yubnub" and then yubnub will open the link in a new tab, which is quite helpful.
