firefox 23, homepage opens in a tab
I just upgraded to firefox 23.
When I start firefox, it loads my homepage, but it loads it in a tab.
In the past, it would just load the homepage, without the tab.
Is there a way to go back?
Thank you.

A workaround for hiding the tab bar when only one tab is open is to install the following add-on:

Thank you for posting this information. I am so tired of developers assuming that users want tabs. If Mozilla developers are reading this, please stop forcing tabs down users' throats.

The changes and the reasons for them are discussed in the following from March 2013 - http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill/
