Hi.  Big Camino fan here.  But one recurring though smallish annoyance:

The 'Go' menu in Camino only shows recent history for the currently selected tab. If one moves to another tab or closes the browser window and later launches another, this menu becomes totally depopulated. While I see where some might find it helpful to have the 'Go' menu offer a unique list for every individual tab/browser window, I often find it frustrating... since (a) I sometimes open a new tab with the specific intention of revisiting a page I had recently viewed (and moved beyond) in different tab; and (b) I frequently find myself having closed all browser windows but then needing to return to a recently viewed page.

And the only way to accomplish this is to (1) effectively kill the page I'm viewing by switching to the bookmarks view in the main window, (2) move from bookmarks view to history view by clicking in the left column, (3) opening the 'Viewed Today' directory, (4) finding the previously viewed page to which I'd like to return, and (5) clicking on the appropriate link.

That's an awful lot of clicks. Steps one & two could be combined by offering a 'history' icon for the toolbar in addition to the 'bookmarks' icon... but that costs precious screen real estate. I know that there's the command-y shortcut, but I always forgot this combination and have to look it up (which is certainly no time saver).

In any case, both Safari and Firefox use a global 'go' menu, in contrast to Camino's tab/window specific implementation. So my questions are:

1. Can I alter this behavior somewhere in prefs.js or in another way?

2. How do other folks feel about this? Is the discrete 'go' menu a feature or a bug?

Best,
Martin

P.S. On the plus side of Camino's history view, I LOVE the fact that command-clicking on an item opens it in a new tab. Both Safari and Firefox refuse to do so... which can be VERY annoying. And I love Camino in general; think it's the best Mac browser by far. Keep up the good work!
