Set Tools > Options > Advanced > Reading & Display > Open messages in to 'A new message window' and 2. Open the config editor (about:config) (press Alt+C), and set 'mail.tabs.autoHide' to true. Now the only things that will open in a tab are the Calendar, and GLODA search results (which I don't use either). --------------------------------------- Binary package hint: thunderbird I couldn't find the option which disable the use of the tabs into Thunderbird. The new Thunderbird version is wasting space in height by using this tab.
