This is a FF problem
If you don't have a bookmark for it (then make one!) write
about:config
in the URL bar (is it called that? Where you have the URL on top of FF)
then filter for tab and you see the options for tabs
I guess this one
browser.tabs.autoHide
may be false and not true

Thanks Husse. Browser tabs auto hide was not the bug. But I'm sure I can find it now that I have that site....Sloto

Well I spoke too soon. I tried putting anything to do with tabs or sessions back to default at the "about:config" site and I still have the same old "tired" tabs every time I open FF. Would sure like to clear this up because Epiphany browser don't have all the goodies.

I found that after I closed the persistant tabs, if I hit the home icon, the tabs came back AH HA.
I changed my open page to blank page-restarted FF- went to my home page (Google news) and set it as my home page again. All is well. At least for now.

Do you change your nick with each post? :shock: :roll:

By nick you mean like "Slotoxxxxxx"?
Apparently I was adding the confirmation code to my nick before my post was rejected when I put it in the right box and then forgot to shorten nick, sorry,as always.
Anyway the thing I came back for was to explain how I prevented sticky tabs from happening: Don't click {[use current page] when you have tabs on bar.

Ah - I always click the wheel for tabs - easy and saves you some problems (and I've seen other problems with tabs - don't remember what though)
