Why Facebook apps open in a new tab?

Why does Fb in Safari open any app in a new tab instead of loading it in the same one? It only started doing that today. Can I change that back? I tried removing all website data, quiting Safari and then relaunching it, but nothing changed.

I don't like it that way, since I already have a couple of tabs open. I use the latest Safari version.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
