I love IE- I like it a whole better than Firefox, but it was screwing up, and so I finally went to the dark side of freeware.
As much as I don't like Firefox, there is one thing I hate more than the rest put together- the tabs. IE 8 had tabbed browsing, but when you clicked a link, it would open a new window, With Firefox, it just opens a new tab. I hate this because:
1. You can't minimize it. I like to be able to hit the _ button in the top-right, and proceed from there. Switching between tabs just isn't natural.
2. You can't X out of it. The X to close out of the tab is next to the little tab flag, not in the top right, as it should be. You also can't use Alt + F4 without closing all tabs.
So, how do I set Firefox to default open a new WINDOW, not a new tab, and to never, ever, ever, open a tab period.
I'm running Vista Home Premium and the latest version of Firefox.
