The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
Links that do not specify a target should open in the current tab.
If that isn't the case then you may have an extension interfering.
