every time i click on a item for sale, for example, opera opens a new tab with the information. i do not want a new tab to open!

@mrstimpy How is the behavior in other browsers?

There isn't a setting to control it, usually Opera follows what the page says to do.

@leocg Thanks for the reply. It is very irritating buying some things and having 5 open tabs to the same site. hope there is a solution for this...

@mrstimpy Does this happen on multiple sites or just on one site?
If on one site, please add link to it - it may be page itself behaving this way.
If it happens on multiple sites, then maybe you have got some extension, which intercepts clicks and opens links in new tabs? Or you just have Control key stuck...

@donq multiple sites, for example ebay. No control key stuck.

@mrstimpy every time I click a link, it opens a new tab, instead of staying in the current tab and going to the new page...keith

@mrstimpy Looks like ebay behaves this way. How it is in Edge/Chrome/Firefox?

For me, Edge opens new tab too, no Firefox here. I like that actually, no need to always hold down Ctrl key
