How to Uninstall Tabbed Browsing

Tabbed browsing is a common feature on popular Internet browsers, such as Firefox and Internet Explorer. If you have a small screen, like on a netbook, the tabs may be taking up valuable screen space. Fortunately, there is a way to disable the tabbed browsing feature. You do not exactly have to do an uninstall. Instead, you just choose to disable the tabbed browsing feature. If you change your mind in the future, you can enable tabbed browsing by reversing the process.

Restart Internet Explorer to browse without tabs.

      Download the "Tab Killer" add-on from the Mozilla website if you are using Firefox. There is no disable feature within the Firefox browser, which means you have to install the add-on to disable the tabs. When you download the add-on, Firefox will ask if you want to install it. Confirm that you do and it will auto-install. Restart Firefox to browse with no tabs.
