 Anyhow, overall, I think the new Theme is gorgeous. [[User:NisseSthlm|NisseSthlm]] 21:04, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
+== Minor change to the tabbing style ==
+I really like the way chrome handles tab grouping it some how encourages further navigation. So I would like to see that in Firefox 4.0.
+For those not familiar with that I'll give an example:
+You have a tab lists ''tabs'' =[]
+- Lets say that you have a '''tab1''' open
+  ''tabs'' = ['''tab1''']
+- you open two new tabs from '''tab1''', that would be '''tab2''' and '''tab3'''
+  ''tabs'' = ['''tab1''', '''''tab2''''', '''''tab3''''']
+- Now you visit '''tab2''' and open a new '''tab4'''
+  ''tabs'' = ['''tab1''', '''tab2''', '''''tab4''''', '''tab3''']
+Now there is the difference between Firefox tab grouping and chrome tab grouping.
+On Firefox '''tab4''' would be appended to the end of the tab list, so in order to see a page potentially related to '''tab2''' you would have to scroll after '''tab3''' to '''tab4'''. The problem becomes clearer when you have about 6-10 tabs open.
+On chrome the 4th tab is inserted after '''tab2''', so if the user hit ctrl+tab we will be taken to the tab directly related to what he was reading previously(that would be '''tab2''').
+I hope you guys do this, it would be awesome :)
+Thanks for reading this.
