Bookmarks open in new tab (instead of current tab) when certain websites are in the current tab.

Usually, clicking a bookmark replaces the webpage open in the current tab. However, when certain webpages are open in the current tab, clicking a bookmark opens it in a new tab instead.

Is there any way to force bookmarks to open in the current tab no matter what? (I like to have pinned tabs, but some of them are webpages that exhibit this behavior and so it kinda defeats the purpose.)

You can check this pref on the about:config page.

  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

This is already set to "false" for me, and that is what it should be. I want bookmarks to open in the current tab.

However, when certain webpages are open, the bookmark opens up in a new tab anyway.

I think it has something to do with session or cookies, because it usually happens when I am on the "successfully logged out" page of a website and want to click a bookmark to navigate away.
