Chosen solution
If you are searching via the Search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar, this preference can be changed to have searches there open in a Tab.
Type about:config in the Address Bar and hit Enter. Then answer "I'll be careful". Type this pref in the Search at the top.
browser.search.openintab = double-click to toggle to true
