Regularly, and I have no idea why, a tab I'm looking at disappears and opens in a new window. This is aggravating to say the least. How the heck do I turn this bit of stupidity off?

Make sure you do not drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.

You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Thank you, I hope this does the trick.

I find there are WAY too many supposed features anymore, all they do is make general use slow, complicated, with many being unnecessary, To solve this, yet more stuff has to be added. Seems counterproductive. Why not make a simple, easy to use browser then provide upgrades for the people with enough computer power to run them??

Again, thank you, more than once I've just given up as features did things for me, that were against me in practice.
