We're all different, dreamybetty, with different requirements that we place upon our browser of choice. I'm one of those born in the first half of the 20th century and would agree that making many adjustments is a very high hurdle to surmount. It's one of the reasons I've found workarounds and simpler ways of doing things. Then again, my demands of the software are in all probability not as high as your own and I don't require tabs to work in just such a manner. I will also add that I'm sometimes amazed at the inability of many young people to adapt their ways of doing things. One would have thought they more than those our age would be able to "roll with the punches" but in truth, at times they seem far less able to adapt than we.
