I dislike how Thunderbird opens the AddressBook and Compose new message in windows. Surely these should be Tabbed now? Maybe at least the option to do so as it may not be to everyone's taste to do it this way.

I'd prefer to click on the Toolbar buttons for AddressBook, Reply or New Message and they open in a new Tab.

Thanks Scott

At least for the address book there is an add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/addressbooktab/

Thanks for the tip ;-) Works a treat. Just need the compose window then!
