RE: Prevent Liferay site from opening new tab on every click, version 7.4.3.45

I tried to update the liferay to the next version and it did not work out, I restored the liferay applicaton, database and reverse proxy all three virtual machine instances back to their original in-memory virtual machine snapshots.

Although everything got restored correctly there is one issue I am having and it is that any time any link even the home page link if it is clicked upon it opens again in the new browser tab.

I tried different browsers, different workstation, even with a different user account and the behavior is all the same, not sure when everything is rolled back what could be causing it.

I am not sure where to look in order to prevent the portal from opening links in new tab.

This sounds so unusual that I'd look at any custom theme or other component installed on the site, or at a mechanically stuck Ctrl-Key, so that you Ctrl-Click every link. That would have an effect on any other website as well though...
