Whenever I click on Nauitlus (Home) icon
with one opened window, it always opens new rather than showing me opened ones. Is there any tweak for this?

Since shift-clicking did not work for me I searched and found another solution.
Workaround mentioned in the corresponding bug report: Scroll the mouse wheel on the Nautilus icon.

I suggest you press shift key with clicking.
with shift key, you can open new window. and with wheel scrolling, you can switch opened instances without new window.
I think that it's very easy, and It's a function of Unity.
You can see the additional information at What are Unity's keyboard and mouse shortcuts?.

3Pressing Shift does the exact opposite, and opens a new instance/new window instead of switching to the open one. – jmiserez Jun 04 '15 at 11:52

I could not understand it, when you access any folders other than HOME, it'll open new window. – xiaodongjie Jun 04 '15 at 17:21

Why was this answer marked as the accepted one if it suggests the exact opposite of what was asked? – Arthur Nunes Mar 18 '17 at 00:20
