@Kelly: Well, to be honest, it means that I shall not have to download an extension to get the behavior. The moment I heard of tabs, I heard of extensions too. I had a gripe about tabs opening at the far right, and found an extension almost instantly that did (does) what Firefox 3.6 now does by default. The extension has been current from at minimum Firefox 1.5.

But since everybody has a gripe…I’d say personas in the current state fail miserably. There is another extension, but I cannot remember the name, that does a much better job. If only I could find it again…

>New tabs open next to the current one.
Horrible idea, I noticed that on the alphas and had to find the fix in about:config (browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent – False)

@Bob: If you say so. I have either never see those problems or if I have I didn’t notice them.

“UI geeks will note that Firefox has had a few issues regarding focusing elements.”

This is the understatement of the year. Focus in firefox is completely broken. Things like the tab bar swallowing the page back/forward shortcuts. Events that are not used at any given level should ALWAYS propagate though to higher levels. Firefox just does not do this in far too many instances. I curse at Firefox and vow to switch because of stuff like this on an almost daily basis. It would be awesome if this was fixed in 3.6 but I won’t hold my breath.

@George: I got so used to the tab behavior I forgot to mention it. I just added it in. Thanks.
