Hi, When I use a shortcut for a bookmark (e.g., typing "yt" to activate my youtube search bookmark with URL set to "https://www.youtube . com/results?search_query=%s" and shortcut set to "yt") it opens in a new tab. I am in the habit of making a new tab before using a shortcut to search using a bookmark. How can I change the shortcut bookmark behavior to open in the same tab where i typed the query into the URL bar?

Keyword searches do not open in a new tab with stock configuration. You might have browser.urlbar.openintab set to true in about:config which applies universally. It could also be caused by an extension, in which case it would not happen in Troubleshoot Mode.
