Anyone know how to disable tab grouping in Firefox 8.0.1? Everytime I open a new tab it puts it in a new group instead of opening it next to the current tab. When I have just the main window open (no tabs) and I open a new tab, it opens up in a new group so it looks like there's no other tab / window open. Gets annoying.
 
Right click the "group your tabs" icon, select customize and then click "restore default settings".

Also, Chrome > Firefox :p
 
I see something that says "Restore Default Set", but that only restores the toolbars to the original settings.
 
Try this:

- Point your browser to: about:config
- In the filter box search for: browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
- Change that setting to false

Hope this helps.
 
I wasn't even aware that FF had grouping. I found this on Mozilla Support.

Go to Customise Toolbar and drag group tab back onto list of toolbar icons.
Click to expand...

Not exactly sure why that would work but it's worth a shot, I suppose.
 
That doesn't do anything, but add the button that opens the group of tabs.
 
Are you sure you don't have some add-on that is doing that? I'm trying to recall the name, but my dad had an add-on installed that forced them into groups, and wouldn't let you ungroup them.
 
Hmmm, doesn't do it on mine, I must have changed the setting already. Curious. =/

To bad chrome doesn't have a simple pull down favorites menu like every other browser. Plus adblock in Firefox > Chrome.
