Hello 1P_Evon,

Thanks for the offer to file a feature request. I'd appreciate that!

As I mentioned, I use 1Password like bookmarks.

Let's say I want to browse Wikipedia. My steps:
1. Launch Chrome -> Opens my default page (google.com)
2. Open the Bookmarks menu and select Wikipedia --> Current tab switches to Wikipedia

Instead, let's say I want to do my banking. My steps:
1. Launch Chrome -> Opens my default page (google.com)
2. Open 1Password for my banking and select "Open and Fill"

Expected: Current tab switches to banking, and is autofilled
Actual: New tab opens with banking and is autofilled. I have to now close the original tab.

Now let's say I've finished my banking and I want to move to my email. With a normal bookmark, I could simply select my email website and the current tab would switch to the new page. With 1Password, I'm always forced to a new tab.

Does this help? For what it's worth, I believe an earlier version of 1Password worked the way I'm describing. I don't recall how far back that was though.

Thank,
Shannon
