How can I delete the use of tabs or at least hide the "Open Link in New Tab" in the menu?

I've gone into options and put a check to hide the tabs but how can I delete the use of using tabs??? Or at least hide the "Open Link in New Tab" in the menu? I just can't get use to using tabs & now that I upgraded to FF4 my favorite add-on called "Tab Killer" does not work. Tab killer gave me the option to hide the Open Link in New Tab listed in the menu.

Thank you in advance :-)

Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#context-openlinkintab, #placesContext_open\:newtab { display:none !important; }

Thank you cor-el for the fast reply!! I really wouldn't know where to copy and paste that script that you posted. I do appreciate your time & effort... thanks again.

After searching through FF4 addons, I found an addon titled 'Menu Editor' which allowed me to take the "Open Link in New Tab" link out of the menu. If anybody needs this addon the link to it is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/

You're welcome


You can make the above posted code work if you create a text file named userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You also need to create a chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder if that folder doesn't exist yet.
The ChromEdit Plus extension (in my above post) makes it easier to create and edit the content of the userChrome.css file.
