i believe alan's idea is very good and well thought out from what i understand what would happen is something similar to what opera does but not exactly,i also understand what bob is saying, both are very valid points. my openion is they should do a a bit of both, have it act the way alan was saying and also have an addons option, infact its very simple to impliment what alan was saying and with an option under settings to siply turn on and off that ability to make it just close or to make it say up and ready for a new tab just waiting.
