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.

  • 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

  • How to open IE tab in Firefox on a Mac?

    I need to open an IE tab on my Mac, have downloaded Firefox but can't seem to work out how to open the tab/says I don't have the right platform?

    The IE Tab extensions is not a IE emulator. It makes use of the IE installed on OS which is why it is primarily for Windows users.

  • How to Restore pinned tabs without 'firefox start page'?

    i have 2 pinned tabs and firefox is set up to 'Show my windows and tabs from last time'.
    for some reason, every time i start firefox it starts with my two pinned tabs in the background plus the 'mozilla firefox start page' up front.
    how can i start firefox with only my pinned tabs?
    thanks in advance!

    zer0nix,
    Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:
    *[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    In order to start Firefox with just the two pinned tabs, it is possible to change from "Show tabs from last time" to "homepage" and to list the two pinned tabs from the home page.

  • How can I disable prompts for Firefox updates on a Terminal Server (Citrix)?

    Does any know how I can disable updates and update prompting in Citrix for Firefox 3.6?
    I've got a 3rd party application that has lots of problems in Firefox 4, so I can't upgrade at this time. I just want to stop users from getting this prompt.

    Thank you for the quick reply, but I've already tried that, it only affects the one user that un-checks the box. All other users still get prompted.
    I'm trying to avoid having to have every single user go through this process.

  • How can I disable tab groups?

    Please tell me how to disable tab groups? I don't want this feature, I'd like to return to old individual tabs, which are not hiding

    Don't use them. If you have created a tab group then delete that group.

  • 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

  • How can i disable scrolling on firefox mobile ?

    I want to disable scrolling for my responsive website, when a colorbox (like a lightbox) is layered over the page (as div, not as iframe).
    Scrolling should only be available for the colorbox-div, but not for body or html.
    Therefore, I set "html" and/or "body" to "overflow:hidden" with the help of jquery. That works in chromium mobile and in the desktop versions of FF and chromium, but I can't figure out why I still have the scrollbar in Firefox on Android.
    Is this a know 'problem'? What can I do?

  • How do I disable autocorect in Firefox

    I want to know how to disable Autocorrect in Firefox

    Seems you need the feature as much as I do, but it is not in Firefox.
    By default Firefox does not check spelling on single line text boxes either.
    What do you type that automatically gets corrected, because I've never seen it happen in Firefox. Are you perhaps using an external editor. Is this at a particular website.
    I can't find an add-on for that at addons.mozilla.org either.

  • How can I disable Safemode in Firefox 24.2.0

    Hi
    We use FFox in a corporate environment due to issues with IE on certain intranet pages.
    The existing version 17 had a number of files that we used to customise and lock down firefox, ie preventing users going in in safe mode etc.
    These files no longer appear to be present in v24.2.0
    I need to prevent users from pressing the shift key and entering ffox in safemode as they could disable/remove the plugins we use to assist locking down the application.
    Can someone please advise on how I can achieve this in this version.
    thanks

  • How do I disable autofill in Firefox Mobile (Android)?

    I've found all sorts of people asking this for the desktop version, but what about for mobile? The autofill information gets in the way of the rest of the screen on phones, so is more harmful than useful, and I'd like to disable it, but I can't figure out how. Thanks.

    To disable form fill in Firefox for Android:
    # Type "about:config" in the Firefox location bar, and press Enter or Go
    # Search for "formfill"
    # Tap on the "browser.formfill.enable" preference, then press the toggle switch to change it from "true" to "false"

  • How can I disable javascript in Firefox 30 for all users on my Solaris 10 x86 box?

    I have a Solaris 10 box in a secure environment (no Internet) with Firefox 30 installed. I need to lock javascript in a disabled state for all users. I realize each individual user can toggle javascript with about:config, but that is only a per/user activity. I want to set the value of javascript.enabled to false for all users. Additionally, no user should be able to modify this setting.
    Is there a location with a config or prefs file that will affect all users?

  • How can I disable "tabs' completely?

    I'm currently using Firefox version 16.0.2, I want to be able to get rid of tabs altogether.
    I've read there was a "tabkiller" download but it says it doesn't work on FF versions later than 3.

    Is there a specific reason you don't want to use tabs? If you don't want to use them you can just not open any more tabs, but usually they are more efficient that using a bunch of windows for example.

  • How do I disable OCSP in Firefox Mobile?

    At my university, they recently started using securelogin.arubanetworks.com as a portal, and it seems that all versions of Firefox don't like it. Disabling OCSP supposedly solves the problem, but there is not option to do so on Firefox Mobile that I can see.

    I am aware, however, it seems there are no advanced setting in Firefox Mobile.
