Opening Firefox search results in the same tab

From a previous tip (http://www.tipstrs.com/tip/2930/Open-Firefox-search-results-in-a-new-tab) it's possible to configure Firefox so that when you search the results will open in a new tab. But what about when you want the search results to show up in the current tab? Turns out there is an easy way to do this. Before you hit Enter to submit your search hold down the Alt key and keep holding it as you press Enter. If you have Firefox configured to open search results in a new tab this will override that and open the results in the current tab.
