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.
