I can't seem to get Quantum to open a site in the same tabe i.e. I don't it to open a new tab every time. I've adjusted the values through about:config (see image) but it still opens a new tab! Thank you

Arghhh! From an EMPTY new tab it STILL opens ANOTHER tab when I click on the toolbar but when I'm viewing a site and click a link it opens in the SAME tab. This is the opposite of what I want! Mozilla why do you make it so difficult to customise your browser!?

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Do I need to combine the changes (true/false) with the preferences in the original post? Losing patience with Quantum. Why is it better than Chrome again?
