Ok, I have been playing with the betas and RCs, trying to give the Tabs a chance, but I'm sorry... I just cannot stand them, and I just installed the release version on one of our users home PCs and they didn't like them either.

Its funny - Firefox has a 'single window mode' option, but I LOVE tabs in Firefox. I tried to like them in TBird, I really did, but it ain't happenin. Don't ask me why.

Is there any chance *at all* that adding a 'single window mode' option for TB 3 will be considered? Or, are there at least the hooks available for an extension to accomplish this?

Also - for those who DO like tabs in TBird - shouldn't there should be a way to open a set of Tabs (ie, Inbox, Sent folder and Address Book), then define this as your 'Start Page - again, just like you can with Firefox? And to lock them too, so you're Inbox isn't always getting replaced with your Sent Folder?

There are currently zero options available for managing Tabs in the GUI right now, but I'm guessing/hoping that since this is the very first version with support for Tabs, that work will be ongoing to enhance Tab functionality, and hopefully provide some UI for setting Tab behavior option.

Anyway, I sincerely hope hope hope that consideration will be given to those of us who like 'options', and I want the option of no tabs. There have got to be others like me out there... ?
