2 already exists somewhat, but it's called Chromeless windows. I expect it wouldn't be 'too' hard to implement in (downstream) Firefox but yeah, this is why they were suggesting a switch to Chromium. There are many reasons why they wouldn't for Saucy (although the debate continues for T-series) but it seems (in a poll on OMG! Ubuntu!), more people want Firefox, so the devs would need to do a fair bit of work to fix your point without changing the default browser and upsetting a fair few people...
(Main argument against Chromium IMO is that it isn't Chrome (no Pepper (updated) Flash for example) and so would confuse end-users and we can't use Chrome by default because it isn't open-source) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libunity-webapps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090703 Title: Make Ubuntu webapps behaviour and look more close to standalone applications Status in Common Data Shared by WebApps: Invalid Status in “libunity-webapps” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I use some Ubuntu web applications. Yes, this is really nice idea, but one thing makes me sad. All web applications look like a one more openned browser's window, and not as standalone application. To fix It I propose to give an answers for these questions: 1. It it possible to open web application in separate browser window which will not be connected to regular browser session? For now if I open for example GMail web app then I see two icons in Alt+Tab: Firefox and GMail. 2. Is it possible to open web application in separate browser window and hide: address bar, tabs bar, main browser menu, etc? 3. Is it possible to open urls in main browser session window and not in a tab near web application. For example: I receive new mail with some link inside, I click on that link and new tab appears in the same window. But still in Alt+Tab I see it as GMail... So summarizing it: is it possible to set tabs limit to 1 for every web application browser window? I'm running: Ubuntu 12.11 Firefox: 17.0.1 unity-webapps-common: 2.4.10-0ubuntu1 unity-webapps-gmail: 2.4.7 unity-webapps-service: 2.4.1-0ubuntu3.2 Of course this are rather new feature requests than defects.
