Why does Firefox for Android open every address bar entry in a new tab

Whenever I type a URL into the address bar in FF for Android, it leaves the existing page in the tab, and navigates to the URL in a new tab. The same thing happens if I tap the address bar and then tap one of the "quick link" icons.

How do I get FF for Android to behave like desktop FF, where things don't magically get opened in new tabs unless I explicitly open a new tab?
