Gmail – How to Prevent Gmail from Opening a New Tab When Switching Accounts

gmailgoogle-appsgoogle-chrome

It seems that about 2 weeks ago, Gmail began always opening a new tab (in Chrome at least) every time I switch Accounts.

Previously it only opened new tabs when I logged into a new account, but if I closed down to 1 tab, and switched between accounts, I could stay in the same tab.

Does anyone know of a setting in Gmail to keep the same tab when switching accounts?

NOTE: I know about opening links in new windows and tabs, and this not what I am asking – this question is specific only to switching accounts in Gmail.

I don't know if this is what you need, but you can drag the "Add Account" Button to your address bar, works for me on Firefox.
