when i turn off open in new it comes back open
This usually means the setting isn’t being saved correctly, or something else is resetting it after you change it. In several apps and browsers, users have reported that an “open in new tab” option reverts after saving, and a common fix is clearing cache/cookies or re-saving the setting after restarting the app.
What to try
- Turn the setting off, save it, then fully close and reopen the app or browser.
- Clear cache and cookies, then set it again.
- If you’re in a website tool or platform, check whether the setting is controlled by an admin or global default rather than your own profile.
- Try the same change in another browser or private window to see whether an extension or stored site data is forcing it back on.
Why it happens
The most common causes are:
- The preference is not actually persisted after saving.
- Browser/site data is restoring the old behavior on reload.
- A higher-level admin or platform setting overrides your choice.
Practical fix order
- Re-toggle the option on and off, then save again.
- Clear site data for that service.
- Restart the browser.
- Disable extensions temporarily.
- Check whether the platform has a default that only an admin can change.
TL;DR: this is usually a save/persistence issue or a higher-level default overriding your choice, and clearing site data or reapplying the setting after a restart is the first thing to try.
