Links open in both current and new tab

Recommended Posts

I have IE9 (actually 9.0.2) with all latest updates and have seen this issue for a while but not bothered to mention it until now.

Issue is if someone in a post includes a link if I click it I go the web page in the current SDAR tab and it opens a new tab with the new web page from link. Not a big deal but don't have same issue with any other websites, forums etc. they all either open link in current tab or a new tab, never both. It is more annoying where link is for a video where it will start downloading twice and thus based on ISP connection can be slow and unless I kill one download you get the sound overlayed with one lagging a bit.

Anyway not sure if this is IE9 specific, not sure if it was same with IE8 or not.

Anyone else have same or similar experience?

Oh and FYI I'm using windows 7 64 bit.

In Google Chrome the problem is not present.

tried Firefox and it is also fine.

dusted off IE9 and found to have the same issue as you!

If you are feeling like trying new things I would give Chrome a shot.
