Open All in Tabs : Alt+Enter (or Middle-clicking the search button) doesn't behave correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
--------------------------------------
1. Select several search engines with "Open All In Tabs".
2. Type what you're searching for in the search bar, then press Alt+Enter
(or do a middle click on the magnifying glass).

What do you expect to happen? What do you see instead?
------------------------------------------------------
When doing Alt+Enter (or middle-clicking the search button), Firefox is
supposed to open new tabs (leaving alone the already opened tabs).
Here, the currently opened tabs are overwritten by the tabs with the search
results (just like when performing a "regular" search -- i.e. with Enter,
or left-clicking on the search button).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
Firefox version?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.5 on Windows XP SP3, with Firefox 3.5.3

Yeah, I just did the same thing in OSE as Firefox 2.0 was doing for bookmarks 
opened 
in tabs. Firefox changed that behaviour to what you want, but I haven't done so 
for 
OSE yet. Shouldn't be a big problem to do so for the next version...

For now, you can set browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace to false on about:config
