    No, which is why there's already an extension (probably several
    extensions) that can totally disable tabbed browsing. There's also
    several extensions for making more out of tabbed browsing that FIrefox
    does by default. The point is that there's already a framework in
    place in Firefox for configuring its behavior -- even behavior the
    designers didn't originally anticipate. Asking for another method to
    do essentially the same thing is just adding to code bloat and
    inefficiency. And that's already the trademark of a different OS.
