Let me say, the new IE9 is so much faster than the previous versions, it's the only one to use now. That said, NO feature should be decided 'for me.' I should be able to turn on/off any feature the browser has. In this case, I A B S O L U T E L Y HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE ...Tear Away, Tear Off, Tear my hair out! I'm sure you don't want to hear my reasons why... HOW DO I TURN 'TEAR OFF' OFF???? PLEASE - Because of this feature SINGULARLY, I'm now forced to use Firefox. Which is equal, if not faster anyways. Get a MS Partner back...HOW DO I TURN IT OFF???? Can you tell I'm frustrated? BenjaminakaGoodCatch

What on earth are you on about? That is nothing but a RANT.

because I have no idea! Some people don't do tabbed-browsing. And of those who do, some don't know they can be rearranged by dragging them. Since IE7. Those who do know are doubtlessly aware that IE9 sports a tear-away-tab feature that can interfere with rearranging them. We are among the enlightened.

I rarely have more than a half dozen tabs open at once, and I don't re-arrange them, so I never noticed. No obvious way to turn the feature off. I see that torn-off window can be converted back to a tab, so it could be worse. My own peeve: I'd like MS to make the sensitive area for closing a tab a bit smaller. In IE9, I'm always accidentally closing a tab when I try to switch to it.

Because of this feature SINGULARLY, I'm now forced to use Firefox. Hey, that's sorta neat. No obvious way to turn the feature off. FireFox does the equivalent thing. Takes some getting used to.

It is possible to remove all add-ons and toolbars, but you should only do that if your browsing experience is extremely slow. In that case, IE9 will actually tell you to turn off add-ons. Turn them off and you'll be fine. :DPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

405wtf123, do you know what happens if you feed a pig a quart of buttermilk? He leaves a trail wherever he goes.

Drag and drop tabs cannot be disabled in IE9. The feedbacks in this thread will be collected by proper department.
