Until a few days ago, when I shared tabs from my mobile device to my desktop, it opened in a new tab or tabs in the active window on my desktop. Now all of the shared tabs are opening in their own window. Is there a way to adjust this in Settings?

Same issue more or less, I am sending tabs from an android phone and tried to send to both Windows and Linux and always have the issue. Worse they open in a private tab so I can't just drag and drop them onto my other one. It's happening since the last update. I'm using the last version available on all of them.

Thanks for the added details. This corresponds to my issue, as well: Android mobile to Windows 10 Desktop. Latest versions of everything. Sent tabs opening in private window.

Same, it's opening in a private window. It's a real nuisance.
