No SM couldn't thank goodness.
I don't even use tabs in browser for SeaMonkey or in FF. The only thing
its good for is wasting memory as each tabbed item takes up memory.
MUCH Less memory than a new window though, fwiw.
But your only viewing each window one at a time. and it replaces in
memory the previous window's contents. Its like a slide show. you
completely replace the content in one window with the content in another
window. In tabs your saving the content as a separate instance. when you
have more than two tabs in memory that's a big drain on the RAM. Then
the hard drive comes into play and drags everything down waiting for the
swaps. (unless you have one of those solid state devices). Even that
drags the SSD down eventually causing its demise at shorter interval.
