You can turn tabs off in firefox, thats how I have it. Just go to tools - options - tabs and set it to a new window a there you go no more tabs.

Thanks, Crissy. I am about ready to try FireFox. I am using IE 6 and tried IE7. It offered nothing.


Yes I could not agree more I tried IE 7 and tossed it shortly after, I am using IE 6 now also.

i read the occasional opera or ff forum post from people wanting just a single window, no tabs, but i've never read of a specific reason someone wouldn't want tabs. i know multiple tabs takes more memory. you're taking up some screen real estate by tabbing. and i suppose it's easy enough to goto bookmarks for the site you wanna visit next. but i would think programming types/developers would benefit greatly by having screens (tabs) easily available at their fingertips.

i have 13 tabs scrolled along the bottom of my browsers (opera and ff), and i intuitively click between them all day long. it would take too many seconds for me to goto bookmarks everytime i wanted a different site. life's too short, eat dessert first (famous philosopher).
