The Firefox Help Thread
I don't want to create a whole new thread about this, so does anyone know how to get rid of those dratted tabs in Firefox? It didn't have them before, but then I clicked something by mistake (open in new tab, I think) and now I have this ugly, annoying and cumbersome third toolbar taking up unnecessary space on my screen. I don't think it's convenient, I don't think it's pretty, I don't think it's useful and I'm at a complete loss as to how to get rid of it. Google turned up nothing, and I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times to no avail. Any ideas, anyone?
Edit: Almost exactly 3 years later, I love the tabs! I don't know how I ever did wtihout them.

You didn't want to create a new thread, but I already cautioned in that thread that this sort of thing is off-topic. Now we can use this thread for any sort of Firefox help.
One important rule: This thread is not for browser wars. If anyone even mentions any other browser I will delete the post.

1. you can click the X in the right of the Tab-bar to close the tabs.
2. you can middle mouse click (if you have a clicking scroll wheel) on the tab 3. make your own extension that disables opening stuff in tabs other than that there are no methodes i know to get rid of it. ps: tabbed browsing is handy imo, better 10 tabs than 10 windows imo |

FireFox_remeber users name?
I am using Firefox and I have a question: how do I reset it so that it doesn't remember the email/user's name? When I log in my hotmail account, it automatically remembers the email adress even after I select "do NOT remember my email" something. When I use inter explorer, I don't have this problem.
Is there a way to set it in a way that it doesn't keep record of user's name/ website address/password? One more thing: I am using Azureus. Does anyone know how to disable the "automatically detect if upgrade is available" function? It's getting annoying. Thanks.

For your azureus problem, uninstall it, then install any other client.

What about clearing the password manager?
Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Saved Passwords -> View Saved Passwords If you don't want to have FireFox remember the password for a site, clear it first, and then tell it to not remember the password after logging back in. That should put this site into the second tab panel.

I think there's also an extension which helps you manage cookies more effectively, but I'm not really sure what it's called. |

Oh, while I was testing this, I got this message: "The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA. If you resend the data, any action the form carried out (such as a search or online purchase) will be repeated. To resend the data, click OK. Otherwise, click cancel." Does this help?

I think there's also some code you can put in your user.js that enables Firefox to automatically delete your cookies every time you quit. Don't quote me on that however, since I'm no technical expert on code. Check the Mozillazine forums, and perhaps someone there might provide you with more definite answers. Quote:
EDIT: Hmmm. Ok. After a bit of searching, I was able to find some extensions that you might find useful. I hope one of these will help. Add N Edit Cookies Cookie Button CookieCuller View Cookies Last edited by kujoe; 2004-11-29 at 23:22. |

I'm using Opera and they all work fine.
If FireFox has an option to "show only cached images" make sure that it isn't on (this is a nice feature in Opera that can drastically speed up web browsing; I presume FireFox has it in some way as well). Along the lines of the cache, you could try clearing your cache to see if that fixes anything. What version of FireFox are you using?
