when I go to a new site, I always get a message to open in a new tab. I cannot seem to get my bookmarks without opening a new new. I want the option to decide which to use and to select my default.

I looked through your help pages and everything seemed to be about how to use the tabs, nothing about not using them.

thank you

Since I was writing from my Samsung android, I failed to mention that. When I open Firefox, the upper right hand corner only shows the tabs link.

When I click on the 'menu' at the bottom of the screen, a star does show up in the upper right, but that adds or removes a bookmark. .

Is there a manual I can download and read?
