NFR - Just downloaded the new version of Firefox - 23.0.1. (my first mistake). Now I'm stuck with

an extra tab on the left side of the screen, which is useless. It's just under the top bar/menu bar, and above the Bookmarks at the left. So, of course this useless new tab bar makes the screen shorter. It's a waste, since it only shows which URL I'm on, which is already shown on the address bar. How do I get rid of it?

Better yet, if someone can tell me how to download the previous version of Firefox, (which I should have stayed with), that should take care of it.

Never mind - after one freakin' hour, I finally found the solution.

Sounds like a toolbar, did you find the solution under View>Toolbars and deselect one?

I'm on a laptop and want as much screen as I can get, so keep toolbars to a minimum. Or maybe it was treetabs?

No, that didn't work - Tabs were not listed as an option. I had to do this:

Mozilla is such a PITA . I hate them as much as Google (gmail).

Goodness, who would think you'd need to do that! Congrats on even finding that.

Thanks! It was really a miracle - I was searching on Google (the other enemy, ie, gmail), and

wording it 2 million different ways. I almost gave up, but the solution finally showed up. Although, I have to admit, I wasn't even sure it was the remedy, and I was afraid to download it. - Things could have gotten worse. Luckily that wasn't the case. After one hour of this crap, I had to have some wine!

Cheers to a job well done!

Thank you - I feel like I beat the system once again!
