    If you re-arrange the code to something like,

Thanks rraghvani, the problem that I'm having with this is that I don't want it to force to open a new tab. I need it to open the current active browser window and use the existing active tab that is lands on, so that way I can just continue running and executing other steps.

 

If I open another tab, it will force me to relogin to my program and such and that portion I already figured out in another function, I need it to open the active window if possible, something like this:

1. Opens Microsoft Edge (Already active).
2. Oh, we landed on "Smartbear.com", this was the tab that was opened when I maximized the current active browser window.

3. Let's use "Smartbear.com" and let me continue with my script.
