On opening, TB displays an uncloseable home tab occupied by an unrequested [search] folder. How to remove this?

Normally I use two tabs, one for each of my input boxes. I also open new tabs for reading messages. All these tabs can be closed in the usual Windows manner - by clicking on the X in the tab header. This new home tab has no such header AND the right-click option to close the tab does not work at all. Also the file/folder opened automatically when TB itself starts is a saved search that I do not even want to keep, let alone show it permanently in an unwanted Home tab. How can I get rid of this and revert to my previous state?

try right clicking on a tab and selecting close all other tabs.

BTW, I am guessing because I have no idea what tab you are actually talking about. I have no search tab, not can I get one on the far left of the tab bar.

Hi Matt, I need to explain more clearly:

  1. Before the latest update (68.6.0) was installed, I had searched all my folders for all messages to/from a specific supplier and I had saved the results as a "search folder".
  2. Before that time, I had no home folder tab. That suddenly appeared after the update AND showed that "search folder". There were also two other tabs that I always left open to hold my 2 inbox folders.
  3. The home tab differed from the tabs I created in that it had no CLOSE button. All that I can do with it is to replace the currently-shown folder with any other.
  4. The right-click CLOSE TAB option had no effect.
  5. The right-click CLOSE OTHER TABS options in the other tabs also did not close the home tab.

So I am still left with the unwanted HOME Tab on the far left! I can fill it with whichever folder or message I choose; but I can do that by creating normally closeable tabs anyhow. Should I report it as a bug?

Maybe a picture would help? For as long as I can remember, the first tab to the left has been unclosable, and if you click on Local Folders, then it displays an accounts and features page. But I don't know if this is what you mean.
