By default, right-clicking and searching selected text in zen-browser opens the results in a floating "glance" window. To have searches always open in new tabs instead, you need to disable this behavior in the advanced settings:
There’s no GUI toggle for this—about:config is required. Once set, searches from the context menu will open in a standard new tab, not a floating window. If you want to disable all glance panels, you can also set zen.glance.enabled to false, but just toggling zen.glance.enable-contextmenu-search is enough for your use case. To reply, just mention @dosu. How did I do? Good | Irrelevant | Incorrect | Verbose | Hallucination | Report 🐛 | Other |
