How do I disable tabs in Firefox 4?

Tabkiller existed for Firefox 3, and served those of us that *hate* the TDI interface of Firefox.
I already have a window manager to manage my windows, I don't need another one, thank you very much.
Please let me know if there's a hidden setting for disabling the damn things. It's the only thing keeping me from using FF4.

i dont know why it worked, but had two tabs open and i dragged one of the tabs down to the desktop. it gave me two instances of firefox. Since then i dont have tabs in firefox 4. might be just a bug, but i hope they dont fix it until they give us a way to turn tabs off officially.

Is there a way to completely disable tabs (removing all tab related menu options) for firefox 10?

Is there a way to completely disable tabs (removing all tab related menu options) for firefox 10. I hate tabs and recent changes to the menus make incorrect selection of 'open in new tab' when what I want is 'open in new window' a common and unwelcome occurrence.

You can hide menu items and move them up / down in the menu with the Menu Editor extension. <br />

How do I disable scrolling tabs in Firefox 17?

How do I disable scrolling tabs in Firefox 17 without adding an extension from an
unverified author? Please include the exact steps for Linux, OSX and Windows.
Or I don't know put it back the way everyone wants it... Call me crazy.

Do you mean by setting a lower minimum width for the tabs to make more tabs fit on the tab bar before scroll buttons appear?
The Custom Tab Width extension adds this CSS rule and adjust the settings from the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth prefs.
* Custom Tab Width: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-tab-width/
Add this code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line if you do not want to use the extension.

<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
.tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned]) { min-width: 100px !important; max-width: 250px !important; }</nowiki></pre>

How to disable tabs in titlebar for all users?

I want to disable tabs in title bar for all users, because looks ugly http://i57.tinypic.com/33nkm77.png
I type to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\local-settings.js
pref("browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar", false);
It doesn't work, but any other options in this file works fine.
Setting with about:config works fine, but only for currrent user.

I think that preference refers to what happens when you have Firefox maximized and you do not display either the classic menu bar or the title of the page in that area: the tabs slide up to the top.
I agree the double-high blue area is irritating. To modify that, I think you need to do one of these:
* Change the Windows XP color theme (I always preferred Silver)
* Create a custom style rule to modify the appearance of the tab bar (so the blue does not show through it)
* Find a Firefox theme that fixes that area (e.g., [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/])
I haven't researched the second and third options in detail.

Permamently display menu bar in Mac OS/Disable tabs

iMac i5, Mac OS 10.7.5, Thunderbird 24.x
The Menu Bar in T-bird 24.x is automatically hidden even though the T-bird Help says that it CAN'T be done. I prefer to have the Menu Bar PERMANENTLY visible, but I can't find a setting in Preferences to do this. Where is the setting that will make the Menu Bar permanently visible.
I DESPISE tabs in Thunderbird; where is the setting to DISABLE tabs? Again I can't find it in the Preferences.

Use what you like romad, but personally I have come to like the Australis theme in Thunderbird and I downloaded Firefox alpha when I heard that after a year or fussing and fiddling they have finally moved forward.
Seriously I have no idea what your talking about though. You carrying on like Thunderbird suddenly changed. Australis has been there since Version 17 tabs since Version 3
As far as your minority operating system is concerned. I have never used it and have no desire to try and decipher what apple did to a perfectly good copy of BSD. If the product changes so radically on point releases that information a couple of years old is worthless, I am sorry. I am used to point releases being minor changes and whole numbers containing the big stuff. However as Thunderbird does not have a feature of the kind you describe, but apple users have been complaining of similar for years in a number of different applications I suggest you ask apple how to fix OSX so it does not do it.

How do I disable tabs?

I want to disable tabs. I use a Mac at home, so an application doesn't take the entire screen like on Windows, so tabs are a pointless distraction that constantly gets in the way. Opening a new window is much more convenient.
The extension TabKiller doesn't work on Firefox 4, so is there another way to entirely disable tabs? As for the moment I'm using Safari since Firefox 4 is utterly useless to me.

Regrettably, no it doesn't.
If I encounter a link that "pops" i.e. starts with a new page, I'll always get it in an open tab. Back before tabs it would open a new window, but no longer. Firefox assumes I want a new tab, because everyone uses/loves tabs.
In Safari all I have to do is set "Open pages in new tabs" to "Never" and I'll never see another tab. In Firefox it becomes infrequent, but I still get new tabs popping up. For example, it's happened 5 times since I've been searching the Mozilla websites.
In Chrome, forget it. Tabs are integrated into the interface. Asking Google to disable them in Chrome is like asking them to pull their eyes out. I should know, I have tried. (But then Google doesn't listen to anyone. They poop rainbows, and don't dare suggest otherwise.)
If I can't find an answer this way I'll have to find the fellow who made Tab Killer and convince him to write an update for version 4, or I'll have to downgrade back to version 3.6

Cant open another tab in firefox

I cant open another tab in firefox, and it doesn't keep any of my addresses in firefox in the tool bar? ive removed and re downloaded and nothing. its acting funny and nothing im doing is working any sujestions?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How do I disable tabs entirely?

I have unchecked everything in the Preferences' tabs panel but they keep appearing anyway. The add-on "Tab Killer" is no longer in development since Firefox 3.6... so that isn't an option anymore... but there has to be a way to disable tabs since it's just one minor feature.
I don't know anyone who uses a Mac who actually likes tabs. Many Mac users tolerate tabs as a weird feature that browser developers seem obsessed about and think is useful... but then there's people like me who find it so annoying that we just cannot use a browser with tabs sprouting up everywhere.
In the Mac it's easier/better to have a second window open. We don't have a severely limited GUI like Windows.

Welcome,
I have a similar situation (4 kids, Mrs etc).
What I have done is I have one AppleID for iTunes (App, music etc) which is shared across all devices (only I know the password), then one AppleId per person for iCloud (iMessages, Facetime and Mail). Plus I can use Find my Phone to track where the kids are!
Works for me, your situation may be different.
Regards,
Shawn

I am using a MacBook Pro and when I open a new tab in Firefox it opens to Trovi. Mozilla has a forum but solutions are all for the PC/Windows. How do I remove it?

I am using a OSX MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.4 and using Firefox 30.0. My Mac has recently been hijacked by a program called "Trovi". Whenever I open a blank new tab in Firefox the tab opens it opens with Trovi. The Mozilla forums offer support but all solutions are for users who run Windows. How do I remove Trovi from my Mac? Please help.

Hey there! I answered this in another post a moment ago, this may be extremely helpful...I had the same problem until very recently with Trovi.
Re: Trovi Virus Removal Needed
Best of luck!

How do I open additional tabs in Firefox Home? I can see the tabs screen but it's blank and I can't find a way of opening a page in a new tab. Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1.

How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.

That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

Why can I no longer open more than one tab in Firefox? Has Firefox been saboutaged by an update by Microsoft?

I have been using Firefox for over 2 years and like the (unreliable) Windows Explorer before it I took for granted the ability to open multiple tabs. 2 days ago my computer downloaded some updates (even though I try to stop it) and after the compulsary restart I cannot open more than one tab in Firefox, even though the browser apparently invites me to. Is this an attempt by Microsoft to saboutage Firefox to build up support for its own product?

Not Microsoft, it is the Ask toolbar. Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

Opening a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar but then moves to the search field

When I open a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar for a second or so then the focus moves to the search input field. If I start typing something the first character fills in the address bar then the rest is typed into the search field.
How do I get the focus to remain in the address bar as per previous versions please?
MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
Firefox 16.0.1
Thanks.

Hello surfersteve1970,
check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode], select "''Start in Safe Mode''" and see if this happen again, if not see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]
thank you
Please mark "Solved" the answer that really solve the problem, to help others with a similar problem.

Firefox will not connect or open. Mac OS 10.6.8. I was working with many open tabs when Firefox stopped working. Now it won't connect. I have uninstalled and downloaded it several times.

I was working with many open tabs and firefox crashed. Now it won't connect to the internet at all.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
