How do I get rid of tabs? I hate tabbed browsing. I want to see a new window.
When I want to go to another website, I want a new window to open. I don't want another tab. I do not like tabs.

Get a new window by slightly dragging the tab in the Firefox window to move the tab to a new window. You can also drag a tab from the Tab bar of one window to the tab bar of another window.
You can hold down the Shift key and left-click a link to open the link in a new window. You can hold down the Ctrl key and right-click a link or middle-click the link to open the link in a new tab.

Sadly, I don't think you understand the problem. You think I want tabs. I do not. I want a new window.
I want to get rid of the tabs. I can't find any way to get rid of tabs.
I like windows, not tabs. I am sorry that you do not understand.
Hi CassandraofTroy, I think your request is clear.
What is causing the new tab to open? For example, are you clicking a link in a page that normally (in other browsers) opens a new window, and Firefox is diverting it to a new tab?
You can turn that off in the tab options here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
On the lower part of the page, uncheck the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
If you are getting unwanted new tabs in other circumstances, could you describe what you're doing just before the tab opens?
To explain the earlier replies:
The first reply explains how to "tear off" a tab into a separate window once it does open -- click and drag it off the tab bar. You also can right-click the tab and > Move to New Window.
The second reply is an alternate way to change the preference set by unchecking the box I described earlier. Such changes are made in the about:config preferences editor.
Hi, you can do this in the settings.
click the 3 bars in the right corner click option click genial scroll down under tabs click "Open new windows in a new tab instead" now it should be unchecked. hoped this helped you solve your problem! Have a good browsing Experience!
