Hi, We are using the Ignition version 8.1.26 and working on Vision. We use the URL, which only loads a web application in the MS Edge browser. It means it doesn’t work with the ignition’s Vision browser component. In the meantime, we want our users to click on a button to open Edge and go to the desired URL. **The method below opens a new tab every time. What should we do to prevent opening new tabs?** import webbrowser webbrowser.open('[https://www.bing.com/](https://www.bing.com/)', new=0, autoraise=True) **Thank you for your help!** ---
