===Behavior dependent on tab bar visibility=== | |||
Instead of creating yet-another-pref, why not have this behavior dependent on tab bar visibility: if you choose to not hide the tab bar with only one tab left, you stay in tabbed browsing mode and Ctrl+W blanks the tab - mimicking an MDI application; otherwise you leave tabbed browsing mode and Ctrl+W closes the window as other SDI applications are closed (e.g. MSIE and Windows Explorer). --[[User:Zeniko|zeniko]] 14:59, 14 Mar 2006 (PST) | |||
'''Pro''' | |||
* You have the choice, but no new preference is needed | |||
* The behavior is logically tied to either pseudo-MDI- or pseudo-SDI-mode (since Firefox is a hybrid, you can choose what side it should tend to) | |||
* You see what the current behavior is (visible or hidden tab bar) | |||
* The current default behavior remains unchanged | |||
'''Con''' | |||
* The difference between pseudo-MDI- and pseudo-SDI-mode isn't always obvious | |||
* You'll need an extension if you want to break this logical tie | |||
