hello dennis.guerra,

  • click 3 horizontal lines at the top of your window. Select "Options..."
  • Click the "Tabs" icon at the top of the "Options" window.
  • Click the check box next to "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the "Options" window to apply your new settings. Warning.

thank you !
