When I'm using google, yahoo or ask, or any search engine website. I did any random research used and clicked on any link searched by google, it immediately opened and directed me to the new tab to the link that I just clicked. My question is: Why isn't direct the link that I want to load on the same tab? It didn't happen on the last update. Is this a bug? If it's not then is there any solution? Maybe the setting. I will thanks and appreciate for any help.
