Firefox:3.0 Tabbed Browsing

Required Features
*** bugmenot: Other than the mouse click modifier, a right-click per-tab close button could also work (Maxthon uses this approach). We can also hide and disable the per-tab close button unless the user has pointed their mouse on the tab for a specified amount of time.
*** porl: Another option may be to hide the close button until the tab is clicked, ie. click once to select tab and show close button, then click the close button. It should probably hide itself after a specified time as well. Perhaps it should also appear for a short time on any newly focused tabs (eg when closing one tab the next tab selected already has the close button there)
** GiantMonkey: I have an other idea: If you have more than 15 tabs opened, there's no clearness. I would like to make a proposal: In the context menu of the tab there should be one additional option "Configure tabs" or something like that. When you select this option, a new window opens. There are all tabs listed. The listed tabs can be multiple selected. At the bottom you place some buttons in order to '''1.''' close selected tabs '''2.''' open selected tabs in a new window '''3.''' move the last 10 or 20 tabs in a new window ...
* Overflow bucket
* The history system needs to be made more compatible with tabbed browsing. In particular, we should adopt a branched history system (that branches every time the user opens a new tab/window) where the user can always go back unless he/she has reached the homepage.
** or maybe "assign icon" to change the icon on the tab
** Also: Options in the tab-context-menu "move this tab left/right" [[User:Hajo|HaJo]]
* GiantMonkey: I have an other idea: If you have more than 15 tabs opened, there's no clearness. I would like to make a proposal: In the context menu of the tab there should be one additional option "Configure tabs" or something like that. When you select this option, a new window on the left side is opened (similar to Sage or Bookmark). There are all tabs listed. The listed tabs can be multiple selected. At the top of the page you place some buttons in order to
**'''1.''' close selected tabs
**'''2.''' open selected tabs in a new window
**'''3.''' move the last 10 or 20 tabs in a new window (this option could be also implemented in the context menu of the tab)
**'''4.''' order web pages / union tabs which have similar urls (e.g. all pages with http://en.wikipedia.org..... in sequence and then other urls)
**'''5.''' other options (--> proposals!!!)
