entering url in address bar opens the site in new tab

Firefox Ba tabs

For some reason when I'm entering a url in the address bar it opens the site in a new window. I edited the about:config - browser.tabs.loadInBackground to TRUE and that didn't seem to work so I was playing around with browser.tabs.load....... setting to try and prevent switching to the newly opening tab. I thought I had solved it but then noticed when I was typing in he URL it caused a new tab to open up rather then using the current tab.

What are the correct settings for the about:config - "browser.tabs.load.." family of options to have an opening tab not automatically take focus when doing an "Open in New tab" from the bookmark menu and bookmark toolbar and have a typed in url address open in the current tab rather then opening it in a new tab?
