When I open a new tab (either by CTRL+T or opening a link in a new tab) the tab does not appear in the tab bar (and the content does not appear in the current window). The current tab becomes grayed out and cannot be closed by clicking the x icon, but web navigation is unaffected; I can go to other pages by clicking links on the current page or typing the address into the address bar.
New windows open without issue, so I will have to open content in new windows for now, it seems.
