Safari keeps opening tabs

When I’m on any site and click something it opens a new tab and it didn’t used to do that, but recently it started. Help please.

Safari is opening a new window instead of tab I have the settings in Safari to set to automatically open a tab instead of a window but after I did the most recent update I have had issues with it opening windows instead of tabs. I have tried changing it to "always" and that also hasn't worked. I have closed safari and restarted it and that hasn't helped. I have also restarted my MacBook but I also did not work. Any suggestions?

Safari keeps opening tabs I've closed and closing tabs I've purposefully left open Nothing much to say but the title - pretty frustrating as I've been using safari without issue for the last couple of months now. Still working off Big Sur 11.6.6 with a MacBook Pro 2017.

Safari keeps redirecting to my first tab When I open a new tab it stays there for a few seconds but then it redirects me to the first tab open in that tab group and deletes the one that I just opened. I already tried a bunch of different ways but nothing has worked. It's annoying that I can't even read or do anything on safari right now because of this.

Hi jt221,
