I want a previous version of Firefox, the ones that don't have your ridiculous TAB feature that we don't want, doesn't work well and takes up space?

I want the Firefox release from 02/2012 as your latest releases are HORRIBLE! Why can't I get a previous version prior to your ridiculous TAB feature?

I don't understand: Firefox has always had tabs. Were you hiding the tab bar before and now it became unhidden?

In Firefox 16, if you only have one tab in a window, you can suppress the tab bar here:

Firefox menu > Preferences > Tabs

Look for: "Always show the tab bar" and turn it off


To run a newer version of Firefox, you will need to upgrade Mac OS X to a newer version.

Al versions older than the current release have known security vulnerabilities and you should avoid using them.

Which tab version are you referring to?

There is probably a workaround possible, either via a pref change or an extension.
