For me, bug 669207 is not a problem. Until I saw this thread, I was unaware that the tab bar had a menu or that I could open a new tab by right-clicking on an empty part of the tab bar. When my browsing session has only one tab, my preferences are set to hide the tab bar. I setup PrefBar to have a button on its toolbar to launch a new tab without having to select a link with middle-click. When the tab bar is visible (two or more tabs open), I can also select the icon at the far left of the tab bar to launch a new tab. -- David E.
