If I have a Finder window open, whenever I try to open another Finder window it opens as a new tab in previous window. The checkbox in Finder Preferences is not checked. See image below.
I'm trying to learn applescipt and i'm on the part where I open multiple Finder windows. I can't do that part as easy as it is because all I have is one open window with several tabs. How do I get folders to open in a new window?
If i open my home directory in Finder and then click on a folder, the folder contents just replaces the earlier window contents.

To expand on ankii's comment... Have a look at Prefer tabs when opening documents: under System Preferences > Dock where the default setting is In Full Screen Only; however, it can also be set to Always or Manually.
In Finder > Preferences > General when [] Open folders in tabs instead of new windows is unchecked, and Prefer tabs when opening documents: under System Preferences > Dock is set to Always, then Finder will open a new tab instead of a new window.
