[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Tabs in Browse

Hi,

in the current version of Browse tabs are enabled by default. The tabs 
in Browse has been an unfinished Feature which mainly was meant to fix 
the issue of a web page opening a new window (this was then opened in a 
new tab automatically).

The latest Browse does add the functionality to let the user add tabs, 
the '+' button in the toolbar [browse-toolbar]. Having several tabs open 
looks like [browse-tabs]. A few things to say here: the close icon is 
not sugarized. The coloring of the tabs is not in a Sugar style and the 
text does not elipsize - hence the tabs can have different sizes (see 
Firefox for an example here).

I would propose as well to do something similar as Firefox in the latest 
version: placing the 'add tab' button next to the latest tab 
[firefox-tabs]. This has the nice side effect of not introducing yet 
another icon in the toolbar. On an XO the url entry size is ridiculously 
small already.

Furthermore there is a significant bug with tabs [1], that should be fixed.

Regards,
    Simon
