Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard about it. After I read your post, I used the procedure in the links you provided to disable this tab screen on all my installations of Firefox.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>

Please excuse my potential brevity.<br>

(To whom it may concern. My email address has changed. Replying to former<br>
messages prior to 03/31/12 with my personal address will go to the wrong<br>
address. Please send all personal correspondence to the new address.)<br>
<br>
(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to<br>
call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy<br>
mailing lists and such. I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)<br>
