Just wanted to thank everyone who contacted me about Firefox tabs after listening to the latest LQ Radio interview with Asa. It seems that the behavior I was talking about, where you only get the tabs context if you have a tab open, can be easily changed by going to “Preferences->Advanced->Tabbed Browsing” and unchecking the “Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open” box. While many people contacted me, the first one was david_ross.
