Make Firefox a ''one tab browser'' ??
Hi - new to the forums.
I have a fairly retrograde, request :slight_smile:
I want to have Firefox operate with ONLY ONE tab on screen at any time!
By That I mean, whenever I try a new search ,or open a new link, I want it to REPLACE the one and only existing tab always. Firefox will only ever have one tab on the screen- no multiple tabs allowed.
Is this possible?
Many Thanks
Pootler

Hi. You can try setting preferences with the values shown below; you may need to restart the browser afterwards. Enter about:config in the address bar. Search sites such as G and DuckDuckGo have preferences which may affect whether searches open in a new window/tab.

Note that Firefox will always open internal about pages (see about:about) like about:preferences and about:logins in a new tab. Only one link opened at the time can possibly be diverted to the same tab.
Awesome Terry- thanks a lot.
