→Why not use the back button?

* I strongly disagree. People already grasp the meaning of "back". And having "back" do different things on different tabs will only make matters worse. For example, in one tab "back" would go to the previous page, and on th eother tab it would close it and focus the page that opened it (_if_ it still exists). --[[User:Caleb|Caleb]] 01:23, 25 Apr 2005 (PDT) | * I strongly disagree.

* Every accessibility guide will tell you the same: new windows confuse users, and because Firefox opens new tabs so seemlessly, the user will sometimes wonder why the back button doesn't work (even I do this sometimes). The only logical behaviour would be to close the recently opened window in order to revert to the previous location. This should be coupled with an Undo Close Tab feature, but will give a significant accessibility advantage to Firefox.--[[User:Omikron|Omikron]] 08:48, 26 Apr 2005 (PDT) | |||
