Leave the "History" tab open after clicking a link

[billiam]

I was going through my "History" to find links to pages on a specific topic I wanted to share with others but after right clicking the link and selecting the "Open in new tab" option the tab with the history of links disappears.

That's not what I expected and it takes several steps to get that history back again.

Kindest Regards,

Hi Bill, how are you browsing your history? If it's a drop-down menu, it is normal for those to close when you have clicked an item. You could consider using the History sidebar instead:
