there are 2 tabs appearing in the window at the same time -- what is that and how do I get rid of it.

There must be some setting I accidentally engaged by hitting some kind of key combination but there are the contents of 2 separate tabs on the FF window. Maybe it's some new 'feature' they added but I right clicked on the tab and nothing looked like it applied to this. What is it and how can I make it stop? I just want each tab to have the contents for that site. If you know what's going on, maybe explain it simply and I'd also like to thank you.

Forgot to add I use Linux Ubuntu OS and this is Firefox 155.01

OH! So, I deleted those tabs that were appearing 2 to a window and then re-opened new tabs for them and that worked. But it would be nice to know that that 'feature' is called and where I can set it or unset it, if you know. If not, that's OK because i can get around it. But thanks.

That might be Split View in Firefox

That link tells you what split views are and how to create them but I didn't see where it tells you how to undo them. But nice to know what it's called. (I don't even know how mine got that way in the first place). thanks
