Yes I've removed TMP as well. I seem to be able to get FF setup OK so far without it.

Since removing it, I havent noticed any difference other than tabs now work how they should. FF exits how it should and I can bookmark again. I dont know if it broke anything else. Its a shame in a way, because thinking back its probably more like 10yrs that Ive been using this extension. Out of habit I just go get it again when I do a new installation of anything.
It appears that since Firefox 2.0, FF natively contains most of the functions I originally started using TMP for and having searched earlier, then it would appear that TMP quite often breaks FF on updates. I dont think I'd seriously noticed this before until the past week when things had become annoying and I'd no idea why.
I'd like to thank the devs of TMP for all their years of hard-work and dedication in coding what was at one time a very useful add-on. Nothing can take away the fact that pre Firefox 2 it was one of the best add-ons.
However things have moved on and saying to people who have tried to troubleshoot and report the issue "Well it works for me" just prompted me to uninstall permanently.
