How do I turn off tabs.

I do not like tabs. I do not use tabs. This version of Firefox will not let me turn the tabs off. If I cannot turn them off, I will have to go back to an old version or find another browser.

Its not perfect but in about:config set browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick to false, set middlemouse.openNewWindow to true, browser.link.open newwindow to 1 and browser.link.open newwindow.restriction to 2

Then use your middle mouse button on links you want in a new windows. And any others with your left to stay in current window.

Some JS links might still open a new tab though.
