Describe the bug Ever since updating to the new V2.24.2.1 version, when interacting with the extension it no longer opens the page to the "Challenge" and some of them arnt being completed after i do them.

Since when 04/15/2023

Screenshots there are no error codes

Your country USA

Your web browser and OS Chrome

Additional context The instances where the challenge isnt completed eventually goes through after afew tries but being able to open the web page by clicking on the extension never worked since the update

It's happening with me too. My solution was left clicking and right clicking it many times until the context menu for 'open in new tab' appears.

I have tried both the previous version (2.24.1.1) and the new version (2.24.1.2) neither are working with the Edge browser

Update: I also tried 2.24.2.1 after discovering I didn't have the latest release, and it does seem to be working so far. I'll give an update if it doesn't work when I switch to my alternate accounts.

There isn't any way I can make this work, as the problem is on the Microsoft side, which isn't technically a bug but a design change, and I have no way to modify it.

The only solution is to hold down control and click the link.

Technical explanation: The pop-up page is an iframe object which opens the same iframe page as you click the reward badge on www.bing.com. The links in the pop-up page are coded to open in the current tab rather than a new tab. Since the pop-up page of an extension cannot be reloaded, the link will not be open. But if you control click, it can open in a new tab. Furthermore, iframe contents cannot be modified locally, so I cannot change the behaviour of the links.
