Add-on summary
Nowadays search engines are greedy and want to keep you on their search results page for as long as possible. That's why they make each search result open in a new tab.
With this extension, simply click the toolbar icon when you are on a search results page, and the extension will remember the domain of the page and the next time you are on that page, the extension will force links to open in the same page.
To remove the domain from the extension, simply visit the same page and click the toolbar icon again.
Permissions Disclosure:
- Access browser activity during navigation: It will match if the current URL is in the whitelist and if so, execute code to open links in the same tab.
- Display notifications to you: Just to show simple alerts when you add/remove domains from the whitelist.
User reviews
Exactly what I needed. This developer is something of a goldmine for add-ons that solve a lot of my gripes with Firefox. Check out their catalogue. Just wish they published code to Github or similar.

It would be nice if you could set the links to other domains to open in a new tab!
