214288 - Allow tabs to stay open

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 191746

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Why was this setting removed? I prefer user interfaces that don't change shape
and shift around as things are done. I like having the list of tabs always open
so pages are always spaced the same distance from the top of the window, and I
always know I can look at the tab list to see what pages are open, regardless of
whether it's one or fifty.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With tabbed browsing, close all but one window. 
Actual Results:  
The tabs disappear

Expected Results:  
I should be able to set Firebird to always show the tabs

This is a feature I grew to like in the previous versions of Firebird and
Mozilla. I would be very grateful to have it reinstated.
