If you mouse over the "thing in the upper right" it indicates it is a tab pane. It is not a toggle, so it is not designed to be "turned off" in the UI.

ill said "I *disable* them by *clicking* a thing in the upper right of the window," with no indication of browser.newtabpage.enabled preference. A case of missing information
