New Firefox tab behavior
By Percy Cabello
leader development of Firefox, Mike Beltzner, announced [in] a small change to the way Firefox opens new tabs, a feature that is intended to include in future versions of the browser.
Currently, when you open a link in a new tab is added to the end of the tab bar, and the relationship to the original tab exists only in the user's head. Soil myself moving closer to the first tab, to prevent movement between the flanges.
With new behavior, new tabs are opened from another, was added just to the right of it, unless others have already been opened. In this case added to the right of the last open tab from the tab "Mother."
New tabs open through the new tab button, or menu File / New Tab or Ctrl + T , will continue to open at the end of the tab bar, it is not possible to know if they have any relationship to the current tab or not.
Users of Internet Explorer 8 beta, and are accustomed to similar behavior, and the tabs that are related are identified with the same color. The result, however, is a tab bar too colorful. Other ways to solve this is to add a small spacer between Tab Groups, or a halo around or under these groups.
If you want to take a look at this behavior, you can install Tabs Open Relative, an extension of John Mellor, who does this in Firefox 3. Will have to set the chain to extensions.tabsopenrelative.includenewtabs false through menu about: config , to open new tabs.
According to what Mike says, this new feature will be added to the branch soon, but their inclusion in Firefox 3.1 is yet to be determined.
