Hi Little Girl, hi Emil,

Thanks again. Despite your elaborate answer, I was not able to solve this. I 
stopped all add-ons and started different setup settings. Whatever I try Geany 
"Execute" keeps forcing FF to open the file in-a-new-tab.
My Firefox version is 102.01 (64 bits). Could the FF version play a role?
I would very much love to get this working, as it is so much simpler than other 
solutions, tho I will definitely try Emil's proposal if we can't get this 
running.
