When clicking on a link, it opens a new tab rather than just opening in the existing tab. How do I stop that?

For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.

This should help:

1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs

2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu

3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option

4. Click 'OK'
