Any time I want to go to a different URL or link—and I have marked in settings to open in a new tab—instead I am getting new windows.

Tonight when I launched Firefox, I started getting everything opening in a new window, rather than a new tab, which is what I have indicated in settings and have always had before. Even if I drag a tab from a new window to a previous window, I cannot close the tab. All I can do is close the window.

Was this after an update?

Yes, it was after an upgrade. It seems to have resolved itself and is now behaving nicely. Thank you.
