m2du1 (m2du1) asked a question.
After i login, I am taken to the application screen. When i click on an application, it opens in a new tab but i would like for it to open in the same tab. Is there a way to configure this in Okta?

Hi Rangarajan,
We understand your request, but the flow you have presented is not currently supported.
What I would recommend is to suggest this on the Okta Community by using the 'Suggest a feature' option at the bottom right hand side of your Okta admin dashboard, or by logging in to your Okta Admin Panel - Help and Training - Community - Ideas- Submit an Idea. Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted and commented on by other members of the community, therefore making it much easier for the engineering team to understand the priorities that you have for feature requests.
Have a great day!

There is no "feature" option on the current version. What is it supposed to do? More to the point, how do we keep 4 or 5 Okta tabs from opening - it confuses our users. Is there a better solution scoped for a feature release?
This has been bothering me for some time. The current behavior seems intended to assume that I keep an Okta tab open all the time, but I do not; I go to Okta now and then on as as-needed basis. Upon navigating to the intended site, I then need to go back and close the lingering Okta tab, which is annoying.
I would go so far as to classify this as a bug, since it subverts the normal behavior of a browser. Browsers already have a function for opening in a new tab; for example, on my browser and OS, the standard behavior is
* left-click a link --> open in current tab
* middle-click (or CTRL+left-click) a link --> open in new tab
Okta, please don't assume your customers cannot operate a web browser.
I found this page:
https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/How-to-prevent-applications-from-opening-in-a-new-browser-tab?language=en_US
...but those workarounds are even worse than the bug. Please just fix the bug.
This may seem like a minor thing, but minor annoyances every day add up to being worthwhile to fix.
Thanks,
Corey
For Firefox, there is a workaround, at least, though it will apply to all sites. Use about;:config to set:
browser.link.open_newwindow: 1
...and probably set as well:
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external:3
The options are described in this related post:
