One of the first things I did was disable that. Located in View--->Toolbars--->Tabs on Top (uncheck).
The only other thing I changed from my previous settings where in the Tools---> Options --->Advanced--->General--->Tell websites I do not want to be tracked.

I use FF as well. I posted this a long time ago, so it's probably worthwhile to mention this pipelining trick again, which makes FF faster if you're using broadband.

Chrome is where it's at. One of the biggest reasons I like it is because of the toolbar. You can google search and search history right from one place, it's great!

Came in this morning, and my FF4 was using >1GB of RAM and was locked up. Maybe 30-40 tabs open. This is not a good sign.

What caused that many tabs to be open? Security issue?

30 tabs? Wowzers!
I've also had numerous instances of FF using lots of RAM. The only fix was to close it. I don't know if it's common with other browsers, but I have read many forum posts regarding it.

Oh, I open more than 40 tabs every day. At one time. It's fun to watch computers scream.
