On any website with links (especially reddit), EVERY time I click a link, it opens in a new tab or window.

I do not wan't this.

I just want the link to open in the same tab I'm using.

Hello,

Please see the articles:

You can check your about:config page to see if maybe an extension or something modified those preferences.

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps:

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
