Multiple browser windows.....  IE opens them up as separate windows, Firefox does it using the tabs.  Hit Ctrl+T.

But I also get multiple windows?  And most of the time the mozilla tabs are empty.

You need to open new windows as a tab.

I think perhaps it uses less system resources to have tabbed pages in one browser window rather than many separate browser windows. 

But I like lots and lots of windows.

You just don't like them grouped together.

Grouping the windows is almost as bad as tabbies.  Gah.

Well, I finally decided to download farky and farkit, so I guess I'll be using firefox more.  I know you all were on pins and needles wanting to know this.  ;)

And now I remember what I don't like about it, besides all the tabbies.  It doesn't tell me the url of the articles in the status bar.  Anyone know how to make it do that?

Nevermind.  Someone just told me how to change that.
