Opt Out of Tabbed Browsing
Some people like tabs because they can be used to reduce screen clutter, but
if you don??™t specifically want to use them (for instance, if you like to view
pages side-by-side), tabs are just a nuisance.
Fortunately, it??™s easy to do away with tabs in Internet Explorer. Just open
the Tools drop-down, select Internet Options, and choose the General tab.
In the Tabs section, click Settings, and turn off the Enable Tabbed Browsing
option. Click OK and then OK again, and then close any open Internet
Explorer windows for the change to take effect.
If you??™re using Firefox or SeaMonkey, turning off tabbed browsing is a little
more involved. To disable all tabs in Firefox or SeaMonkey permanently,
install the free TabKiller extension available at https://addons.mozilla.org/
addon/1938, and then restart Firefox. Thereafter, Firefox will ignore any
attempts to open new tabs, instead opening such links directly. (To have
Firefox open such links in new windows, go to Tools ??? Extensions, highlight
TabKiller, click Options, turn on the Open new windows instead of
new tabs option, and click OK.)
On the other side of the fence are those who despise the pile-up of windows,
and are happy to put up with tabs to keep the browser window tidy.
If you fall into this category (and you??™re a Firefox user), install the Switch
Windows Mode extension, free from https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/3881,
or the This Window extension, free from http://www.
