We make the new tab button look like a tab, so when the user clicks it, we lead the user to expect that the button will either transform into a new tab or produce a new tab from itself. Also, as a general rule, I think buttons should produce visual feedback as close to themselves as possible; conversely, place buttons as close to their target of action as possible. We (at least Limi and I) have considered/wanted having every new tab open next to the current tab, but this would require having a "plus" button be attached/adjacent to the current tab for the mapping to make sense visually, and I don't think we solved it in terms of visual design yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572074 Title: New tabs open to the right of all existing tabs instead of opening next to the current tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/572074/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
