Allie, if you're already using the Tabbrowser extension and you don't
want to install another extension, just go to Tab | Tabbrowser
Extensions Preferences...  Next, select the "Advanced" category and
change the Window Mode to "Use only one browser always (Single Window
Mode)".

You can also try the "Use multiple browsers only when I open them"
alternative, and see which mode you prefer.

The Tabbrowser extension does a very nice job of managing tabs in
Firefox.  There are also some user.js settings that can be added to
ensure new URLs open in a tab, rather than starting new instances of
Firefox.

This is getting off topic, so anyone who's interested can e-mail me
directly for more details.
