How do I get address bar to show up on tabs? How do I stop computer from immediately redirecting me to newly opened tab?

Apologies for my ignorance, first off. I am using a new laptop and want the settings to be the same as those of my former laptop. However, I have no clue how to adjust settings. On my former laptop, the address bar was always displayed on each new tab I opened. Also, when I opened a new tab, I was not redirected to that tab. Instead, I was able to remain on the website I was using when I opened the new tab. So, how do I get the address bar to show up on all webpages and how do I stop the computer from immediately taking me to each new tab I open?

You can use:

  • Tools > Options > Tabs: [ ] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

You can toggle this setting for specific links by holding down Shift and middle clicking or Ctrl left clicking a link.

Do you mean that the Navigation Toolbar gets hidden?
