On the other hand, a user will have to study/read the contextual stuff pretty thoroughly. So, you’re not going to want to have a ton of stuff in the contextual area. Hence, dedicate more of the screen to the page section. Pages are immediately ‘obvious’ and it takes very little effort to evaluate that whole content area.

And perhaps a way to get at some bookmarks. Ideally, I’d like to hide almost my entire toolbar. I’d also like to request the Awesome Bar be replicated in this window.

When I look at a page, I look at the center. The center seems to be one big blank space, with all the content on the edges. May I suggest: 1. Website thumbnails in the middle, the focus of attention, users shouldn't have to actively look for them, it should be right in front of them 2. Search bar at the top or bottom 3. Drop down menu (containing previously closed tabs) with a button next to it saying "reopen tab"; positioned at left Why shouldn't there be any configuration for this? I personally think it would be very very awesome if this new tab iteration was made up of modules that can be added and rearraged. Something like a toolbar: drag and drop controls into it and rearrange. I chose FF because of the extensive customization available to do whatever I want, and I don't think you should compromise on that. At the very least, let me pin websites. I would've thought that it make more sense that the titles of the websites were below or above the thumbnail, not to the left. I know all these new things can add weight to the iteration and make it load slower, but a button, a search bar and a few thumbnails is far too little IMHO. And I really don't think you should compromise on customizability; that's what FF is all about. Hope all my suggestions helped =) IMHO, that new tab iteration on the post seems very weird and non-intuitive. When I look at a page, I look at the center.

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:41:32 +0000 http://www.azarask.in/blog/?p=408#comment-4873 Hi, as my comment on the labs site got lost, I ll try again here... first of all nice concept... four things: a.) if I open a new tab to open a website I now have to press crtl+t for the new tab and the crtl+a to select all, because if I just start typing I still have this chrome:// stuff around and it will fail... So please give us an option to have an empty awesomebar or at least the chrome:// stuff selected so there is no need to get over to the mouse or press crtl+a b.) there is a problem with the preview because some bloody pages (like tagespiegel.de) have popup-ads which are usually blocked but here (with the new tab) they aren't so I always get an annoying ad when I open a new tab and tagespiegel.de is in my history... c.) I would love to have my all time favourites rather than sessionbased (maybe option based)... because if I open a new tab at the beginning of a session its no rather useless, even if it could know where I want to go because I allways do ;) d.) is select an url and open a new tab is supposed to be working? it isnt for me Nevertheless really nice work... Hi,
as my comment on the labs site got lost, I ll try again here…
first of all nice concept…
four things:
a.) if I open a new tab to open a website I now have to press crtl+t for the new tab and the crtl+a to select all, because if I just start typing I still have this chrome:// stuff around and it will fail… So please give us an option to have an empty awesomebar or at least the chrome:// stuff selected so there is no need to get over to the mouse or press crtl+a
b.) there is a problem with the preview because

Nevertheless really nice work…

Undo!" -> "Reopen tab 'Foo'" I guess that the reopen action should stay because it is more discoverable than the menu item "History" -> "Recently closed tabs". I agree with Ami: a very common use case is when you want to open a tab with the same history as an existing tab. It is probably more common than searching for a word in a new tab. IE solves this problem elegantly; I think I would prefer that to the proposed design. As a compromise, the previous tab's content can be one of the context items shown in the new tab, and when it is opened it can contain the history of the old tab. If you have context-sensitive content, it should be according to the text selected before opening the new tab, as well as the text typed in the Awesome Bar. As you type in the Awesome Bar, the results should replace the initial contents of the window. (The downside of this is when you want to see a long list of pages matching your Awesome Bar query but want a small window.) They should appear after some delay to avoid slowing down your typing. “Didn’t mean to close that Foo tab? Undo!” -> “Reopen tab ‘Foo’”
