== Required Features ==
* Opened tab list should respond to configurable mouse button clicks. Eg. middle click on the entries close the tab while still allowing you to continue thereafter(does not close the list just yet). Such a menu is particularly useful when having loads of tabs opened simultaneously as it takes up reasonable amounts of screen space yet allows you to browse many tabs at once.

Another brilliant implementation of the above principle is in opera as depicted in the picture below. The setup allows for a more permanent solution which even includes a search box so as to only focus on the specific tabs only in the viewscreen.

The above would hopefully prevent us from being lost in a 'sea of tabs' not knowing where each tab is and not being able to focus on the tabs you want as so commonly experienced by users of MDI applications.
* Another idea is to allow multiple tabs to be viewed at once, like a side by side view. This would be very useful for people who want to compare two things or people trying to copy something from one site to another.
* I think it would be beneficial to be able to tear off an existing tab and launch it into a new window. I use a combination of windows and tabs, when I browse, all tabs are related to the subject of one window, each window a different subject.
== Work Estimate ==
It would be good for the user to be able to set a cookie policy individually for a tab. E.g. only 'that' tab should accept cookies from that site. Furthermore, sites opening in other tabs shouldn't be able to read the cookie from the first tab (even if it is the same site that set it). This would be useful when, for example, one wants to login to a site with two different credentials at the same time. Or one wants to access two gmail accounts at the same time. The whole idea is for each tab to be able to be sandboxed from all others like being another browser.
* Despite this separation is not implemented internally in FF 1.5.* or FF 2.0.* it's achieved partially by CookiePie extension.--[[User:Swain|Swain]] 22:05, 24 May 2007 (PDT)
== Tab Strip ==
It would be good if the user can see all the favorites of one folder in a strip with a previsualization. This previsualization is updated each time that you visit the page. This previsualization strip will be used with a shift bar to move a small tabselect-window all over these favorites (over the strip). This window will select or highlight only the links/webs that we want to have opened in firefox. That it is to say, when you move the window over the favorite strip one position to the left, one new favorite will be openened and the favorite that is most to the right will be close. The maximum size or width of this window must be configurable, for example 7 tabs. This will save a lot of memory usage in firefox and will let you see all your favorite webs (for example 40) without problem because you will have only 7 web pages opened simultaneously. If this width is reduced from 7 to only 1 what we have is a powerpoint slice "WEB" presentation!!!
