Has anyone noticed that Safari for MacOS Sonoma is allowing more popup windows compared to previous MacOS? After updating to MacOS Sonoma, I found that when Safari is set to "Open pages in tabs: Always", pages that previously opened in a new tab now open a popup window. One example is logging in to Etrade and then clicking or Command-clicking the link for Power Etrade. I have tried resetting Safari and deleting all preferences files but it is still opening popup window instead of a tab. I have also tried setting Pop-up windows to always block, but no difference.

Have you been able to solve this issue? I am experiencing the exact same problem with Etrade, and it is driving me crazy. I need Power Etrade to launch as a tab rather than a window. It is very inconvenient switching back and forth between the screens this way.

I have also messed with all the settings and had no luck. I upgraded to Sonoma this morning.

I did discover that if you copy and paste the Power Etrade URL and paste it into your window that you need to work from, it will launch in a tab rather than a window.

Unfortunately not. For now, I have to remember to secondary (right) click and select Open in new tab, instead of just clicking.
