For now you can just open a new tab on both windows to get the tabs back.

As per Comment #5, this bug could be trunk. Can anyone confirm it for Fx 3.7 alpha?

*nudge*
This bug applied to Firefox 3.5 and 3.6. Later versions of Firefox always show the tab bar, so this bug no longer applies. Marking as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
