So i search for a web page such as sky news and this bring up a list as normal, however, when i click on the webpage I would expect the webpage to open on the same tab. But it does not, it opens it on a new tab!!??

I have tried both of your suggestions, however, these have not resolved the issue.

Anything else you might be able to think off??

Thank you
