Re: open windows in new tabs (Firefox)

Since switching to Ubuntu (from Fedora), I've found that Firefox is a
lot more likely not to follow my instruction to "Open Windows in new
Tabs." I get a lot of new windows opening.

I pretty much never want a new window to open. I want things in tabs.
How can I make that happen?

Did you copy over your profile from the Fedora machine? Sometimes that
doesn't work properly, perhaps trying with a fresh Firefox profile?

I've had the same problem a few times when rebuilding my laptop, even
when I'm using the same profile. My solution is to open Firefox, set
it to open a new window, apply it and close Firefox, then reopen
Firefox and set it to tab instead, apply and test. So far that's never
failed to fix the problem.


This appears to have worked, by the way. I had copied my profile over
from Fedora, as David Vincent predicted.

Thanks to all who helped!
