I just upgraded to firefox 23.

When I start firefox, it loads my homepage, but it loads it in a tab.

In the past, it would just load the homepage, without the tab.

Is there a way to go back?

Thank you.

A workaround for hiding the tab bar when only one tab is open is to install the following add-on:

Thank you for posting this information. I am so tired of developers assuming that users want tabs. If Mozilla developers are reading this, please stop forcing tabs down users' throats.
