Running macOS12.6 (Monterey) and very recently updated Safari to v16.1
Before the update I THINK this was normal for me
Safari running, a Window open with 1 or more tabs active
Clicking a URL link in an email. message (in Mail) would open a NEW Tab in the existing window in Safari.
Clicking other URL links would do the same.
All clicks resulted in new tabs in the 1st window
NOW,
Safari running, a Window open with 1 or more tabs active
Clicking a URL link in an email. message (in Mail) opens a NEW Window but doesnât close the prior Window. The tabs in the 1st Window remain active. (My music continues)
Clicking other URL links produce more Tabs in the new, 2nd Window
All clicks resulted in new tabs in the 2nd window
I have looked at Preferences for Mail and Safari but donât see anything that would seem to control this action
Does anyone have idea of managing this?
I can live with it, just would like to know how to adjust it
Yup, I think I know this oneâitâs tab groups. New links always open in the default tab group, so you might be browsing in another. Annoying, but manageable, although Iâd sooner get rid of the âtab groupsâ feature entirely, for all the good it does. I sometimes find a whole load of tabs that I thought Iâd lost in a tab group I didnât realise I had, so check there first.
