Description

[Marco Tedaldi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021216
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021216

I unchecked the Option: "hide the tab bar when only one tab is open" in
Preferences/Navigator/Tabbed browsing
When I "close" the only remaining tab with the little "x" in the tab bar, the
bar disapears. When i then close Mozilla and start it again, the tab-bar is
hidden even if the option in the preferences is unchecked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uncheck "hide the tab bar when only one tab is open"
2. Click on the "x" in the tab bar
3. Close Mozilla
4. Open it again
Actual Results:  
Tab bar is hidden

Expected Results:  
Tab bar should be displayed according th preferences

Unfortunately the pref isn't forgotten. Rather, there's a second 'pref' which
overrides it. The X on the last tab is equivalent to view -> show/hide -> tab
bar.  A truly horrible idea.
