This is a quick question. in my old laptap which stopped working, everytime i would open a link using the 'paste and go' feature, the link would open in the same tab i pasted the link. but in my computer when i open a link using paste and go in an already opened tab, it still opens the link in a new tab. i have gone through both the tab mix plus options and the normal firefox options but i cannot find what box to check or uncheck.

can someone please help me with this? i have come across some thread that say i will have to go to the config of FF and manually change a setting but i do not recall doing it last time.

This behavior happens by default.

Open Firefox in Safe Mode, if it does what it did before automatically then you know it will be an add on feature.

I do not use that add on, so I am not familiar. It is possible to ask the add on developer as well.
