Why do Shortcuts eg Bank appear as a tab on Firefox when opened

Every time I click some of my Shortcuts on my PC I notice that they appear as a tab on Firefox along with any other open tabs. I don't remember this happening before recently.

Hi TSAV, I think it's normal when you use a shortcut to a web page for it to open as a new tab in your default browser.

Would you prefer it to open in a separate window? There is a setting for that.

If you wanted it to open in a different browser, you would need to make that other browser your default browser.
