How to Stop Microsoft Edge from Opening Links in New Tabs

Microsoft Edge does something very strange if you use Bing Search. Links will open in new tabs and the Search page stays open in another. This can get annoying, and it’s not clear if Bing or Edge is at fault. Here’s the problem we’re talking about: You do a search, click a link from the results, and you’re taken to a new tab. You click the back button to return to the results, but it keeps you in the new tab that was just opened. Now you click a different result and you’re taken to yet another new tab.

Every time you click a link, you go to a new tab and the results are left open in the original tab. But going back from the new tab doesn’t take you to that original tab. So you quickly end up with a bunch of Bing Search result tabs open and it’s very frustrating.

How to See Firefox Tab Previews in Windows 10’s Taskbar

When you hover over an app’s taskbar button in Windows 10, you’ll see a small thumbnail of each app’s windows. With Firefox, you’ll only see the active tab in each window by default. But with a small change, you can see thumbnail previews of every open tab in every Firefox window.

But this can get quite annoying. Here’s how to disable the pop-ups in Microsoft Edge. If you’re planning to use a password manager, we recommend that you go with a dedicated password management service like LastPass or Bitwarden. These services are not browser-dependent and have strong native clients as well as browser extensions.

Unlike with some other browsers, such as Google Chrome, Firefox not only supports add-ons on your desktop, but also in the Android app.

Mozilla maintains a repository of all the add-ons. Not all of the extensions you can use on the desktop are available for Android. We’ll show you how to find and install them on both platforms.
