View Email in Separate Window

I have upgraded to Thunderbird version 78.

In this new version, I can no longer find the setting that allows me to view an incoming email in a separate window. The default is to view the message in separate tab.

Has Mozilla taken away this option? When I go into Options, there are only four sections now - the 'reading' section seems to be gone completely.

Can you help?

It's in Options/General/Reading & Display (see picture).
