For several months now, when I click on links in emails from LinkedIn or Indeed, Outlook (new) opens two (2) tabs for the same link. Every time.
It does not do this if I switch back to the (Old) Outlook.
It does not do this if I open the same email/links in my Outlook 365 desktop application.
Since Microsofte embedded "safelinks" scanning, the Outlook (New) app has been a royal pain with links in emails, hiding links from view, and with this additional irritation, it seems that the development team have lost the plot.
My "Default" browser has no bearing on the result., it does it in Chrome or Firefox when set to default.
Switch to the old version of Outlook App, the issue goes away.
Forward an email to my priamary Outlook365 mailboxes... the issue is non existent...
By testing 3 versions of Outook with 3 web browsers, I only get the issue with the New Outlook App,... therefore I can only conclude that Microsoft have fudged this (New Outlook) version up even more.
*Note that for me it is only email links from LinkedIn and Indeed job alert emails and notifications, I have yet to find another platforms emails that are affected.
Are you getting any issues with these?
Lmk here if you find any other major platform emails too,
Ta!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Had this issue too since the beginning of this week.
Sick of Microsoft constantly breaking things in their software.
Hopefully we'll see a hotfix soon 🙄 (which will fix one thing and break three other things).
I see the same issue since today, but I noticed that when you right click on the link and you open it that way, it opens just once. This is ofcourse just a workaround and I really hope the fix will be there soon.
Kind regards, Ray
I am also having the same issue and my colleagues too...
Same issue and additionally on sites that require authentication to log into, I could previously have Edge/browser remember me for 30 days. This no longer works and requires authentication EVERY time I log in.
(I have checked that my privacy and security settings in my browser didn't change from any recent updates and on "balanced").
The ticket was closed because support is aware of the issue and "engineering" is working on it. They don't need 1000 tickets open for the same problem. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next 24-48 hours.
