Whenever I click on a youtube video, specialy in my homepage, instead of the video playing on the same tab, it opens a new tab and plays the video there. It is really starting to get annoying having to constantly close the previous tab so I would really like to know the solution for this.

This is happening to me too. Very weird.

This is now happening to me as well! Everything you can find on this so far points to google settings needing to be played with. But none of these work or apply to this issue. Its only specific to the home page of YouTube.com. The problem does not persist if you go into your subscriptions. Its very odd and I've been trying to find the fix for hours now with no luck.
