You can't. That would be like closing the window.

Are you asking about not showing the Tab Bar when their is only one Tab open?

Fix the Problem:

  1. open about:config
  2. search for browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
  3. change value to false
  4. its also working with version 26.0


  1. about:config in der Adresszeile eintippen und mit Enter bestätigen
  2. mit dem filter nach browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab suchen
  3. den Wert für browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab auf false setzen
  4. Funktioniert auch mit 26.0
