How to stop Firefox from opening an new tab when I change the URL?
When I change the URL of the tab I'm on and press Enter, Firefox opens the result in a new tab. How can I stop if from doing this? I just want to change the URL of the tab that I'm currently using.

If it is a pinned tab, or if the current or new URL is assigned to a Container by an add-on, that could be a factor. Otherwise, could you check:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.urlbar.openintab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the preference is bolded and has a value of true, double-click it to restore the default value of false

That fixed it! Thanks!
I see you said "restore the default value of false". That's interesting to me because I have no idea how this would have changed; I use very few add-ons. Either way, I'm happy this behavior is gone.
Just to clarify, it was the changing the value from true to false solution that fixed it.
