I have FF on both desktop/laptop with XP. Yesterday, both auto-updated to 23.0 which added a permanent, unmovable tab above my toolbar. I never use tabs, and all this does is push my site view down and make it smaller by 1/2". How do I get rid of this unwanted tab? Thanx.

hello, apparently this option has been removed intentionally in preparation for a redesign of the browser which will land in firefox later this year. you can use the following extension to work around the issue though: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/

Thank you! Next surprise like this, I move my bookmarks to Chrome.

the options for user interface customizations in chrome are far more limited though... I don't think it's possible to hide tabs there even with the help of an extension.
