How do I make the options menu show up in its own special window like before, instead of being displayed as another tabbed web page?

SquallLeon

The options menu (the one you get by clicking the gear icon) once showed up in its own special window. Now it shows up looking like a web page, and opens in a new tab, not its own window. I preferred it the old way, so how can I change it back?

Hi, you can go back to the old Options window by: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.preferences.inContent and double click to change 'Value' from True to False, taking care not to alter anything else. You may then need to restart Firefox.
