Tabkiller existed for Firefox 3, and served those of us that *hate* the TDI interface of Firefox.

I already have a window manager to manage my windows, I don't need another one, thank you very much.

Please let me know if there's a hidden setting for disabling the damn things. It's the only thing keeping me from using FF4.

i dont know why it worked, but had two tabs open and i dragged one of the tabs down to the desktop. it gave me two instances of firefox. Since then i dont have tabs in firefox 4. might be just a bug, but i hope they dont fix it until they give us a way to turn tabs off officially.

Yeah, you can always drag tabs down to turn them into new windows, but it doesn't disable tabs. I just double checked.
