Script Summary: Modifies Goodle search result links to open in new tab.

When I'm researching a topic using Google search, I will normally open a couple promising links, each in a new tab. I let them load and then look through them one by one, keeping some open and closing others. My original search page is left untouched, as I keep returning to it looking for more candidates. Firefox has the Open Link in New Tab feature which makes this easy, just not easy enough. I have to hover, right click and then left click each time. So this script changes all the results links on the page to open in a new tab by default. All other links on the page, like navigation links and add sense, are left alone. This script works for the Google web, images and video searches.
