open windows in new tabs (Firefox)

[Edgars Šmits]

I've had the same problem a few times when rebuilding my laptop, even
when I'm using the same profile. My solution is to open Firefox, set
it to open a new window, apply it and close Firefox, then reopen
Firefox and set it to tab instead, apply and test. So far that's never
failed to fix the problem.
