I remember reading this jwz post[1] in 2012 where he said he never uses tabs at all, and realizing that I can use a combination of windows and tabs. So now I just have each window contain a bunch of tabs for one topic. If it's WIP, the window stays open or minimized, if it's a long term thing, I convert it to Safari's tab group. Not sure why more people don't use multiple windows, it's way more convenient than just having hundreds of tabs in one window.

> The point here is, you cannot turn off Tabs in Firefox. You may think that you can, but history proves you wrong. I spent literally years where, each time I upgraded Firefox, I had to spend half an hour searching through the thousands of lines of about:config looking for the newly-added checkbox that I need to un-check -- and then it would only work like 60% of the time anyway, and I'd still end up with tabs. I ran into this problem and came up with a jank solution: https://github.com/sid-code/tabs-are-windows https://github.com/sid-code/tabs-are-windows It's about 5 lines of code and punts all new tabs into their own windows. I've been using it for a while now and it works, except when you press C-t (my muscle memory for opening new tabs) it doesn't focus the new window's address bar due to the rigamarole of pushing it off into a new window.
