I have Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon OS. Why does Firefox keep opening links in new tabs after using the search bar? I narrowed it down to being the Yahoo search engine. I switched it to DuckDuckgo, but is there a way to keep it with yahoo without new links always popping up? I've already tried opening up Firefox in safe-mode and I double checked to make sure I don't have any extensions/add-ons.
