Separate windows, NOT TABS -- is it possible?

I recently upgraded to CentOS 6 and GnuCash 2.4.15 and it appears that gnucash
is now following Firefox down the alley of "There can be only one [window]"
and is now using tabs, *like it or not*. *I* don't like tabs! I want things
like invoices, etc. to open in *separate* windows as a default behaviour. Is
this possible? How?

Yes, I know I can open a new (blank) window and *then* find/create something,
but I really want to just find/create from whereever I happen to be and get a
fresh window, without having to go through the extra steps. The older versions
of GnuCash worked that way (as did the older versions of Firefox/Mozzilla).
This 'craze' of tabs everywhere (with the aversion of creating new windows) is
really anoying (to me). (And no, I almost *never* maximize my windows -- I am
an old-school UNIX user and never used mess-windows -- I really make full use
of my 'window manager', often having multiple windows up side-by-side and/or 
overlapping.)
