I wrote some thoughts in the [[Firefox:Tabbed_Browsing:Scratch_Pad]] that I believe should be taken into consideration when talking about improvements to Tabbed Browsing. cheers. -- [[User:AlliXSenoS|AlliXSenoS]] 18:16, 30 Jan 2005 (PST) | I wrote some thoughts in the [[Firefox:Tabbed_Browsing:Scratch_Pad]] that I believe should be taken into consideration when talking about improvements to Tabbed Browsing. cheers. -- [[User:AlliXSenoS|AlliXSenoS]] 18:16, 30 Jan 2005 (PST) | ||
== Why not use the back button? == | |||
This is an idea I had that I think might work. Imagine single-window mode is on (since we are discussing tabs), and a user clicks a link that opens in a new tab. We could leave the back button enabled so if the user clicks the back button, the tab closes and firefox returns to the tab that page came from. The same could apply to new windows from links, when a new window opens, click the back button (or press backspace) to close the window and go back to the page that opened it. | |||
This will benefit beginner users because they can sometimes be lost by randomly placed new-window links and plus it means I can easily close a lot of tabs and windows with just the backspace button. | |||
Any thoughts on this? | |||
