How to open linux folders in the same window?

Default behavior while opening folders in Linux, meant, a new window for each folder I double-clicked on. To prevent that, and to ensure Linux opens folders in the same window, I followed the steps listed below:
Go to home folder (Screen -1)
Select Edit from the Menu and scroll down to click on Preferences (Screen -2)

Click on Behavior Tab and select "Always open in browser window" (Screen -3)

The explorer view is shown below (Screen -4)
