[Psi-devel] Tabs

I was just reading the mozillazine item on the Firefox 2 release, and
this is what it says:

'In response to usability testing of Firefox's tabbed browsing [1],
the close button has been moved from the end of the tab bar to the
actual tab. By default, all tabs have a close button but if many tabs
are opened the close button is just shown on the current tab to save
space. Any user who has closed a tab accidentally will appreciate the
new Undo Close Tab option on the tab bar context menu and the Recently
Closed Tabs submenu of the new History menu (which replaces the Go
menu).'

[1] http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/009210.html

Sounds like an argument to keep the button on the tab, and not put too
much effort in the 'one close button on the right' ?

cheers,
Remko
