 I think it would be very interesting to allow the user to creat one custom session it can save manually apart from the auto saved session we will implement. Separating a manual saved session from the auto saved one could be very handy (standard working workflow?)

 * Tab Expose
 ** Using a predefined key combination would active a new view (in a similar way to the bm view) and would show a view that reveals all the open tabs in a certain window. The effect would be similar to the Mac OS X Expose feature.
 ** I wouldn't recommend making tab expose a "system level" feature like Shiira made it. Tab expose is a browser window level feature and thus should only take place and affect the window in question. Users will be able to use the system expose to find other windows. On a 12" screen we could easily layout 20 or so thumbnails of websites without making them unreadable. The thumbnails would auto scale to ensure that all the tab views fit within the viewable area. Adding a scroll-bar would defeat the whole idea of exposing all tabs.
 ** So the idea is to create contact sheet like tab view that shows thumbnails of all the open tabs and their title when hovering over them (look at the system expose).

 ** Right in line with the effort to easy the enabling the use of tabbed browsing for users, the creation of tab groups should be eased aswell.
 ** Currently filing a bookmark, and creating a tab group are two different things. People do not associate filing a bookmark with filing a tab group. They perceive it as to separate things. We should use this knowledge and provide our users with a new separate bookmark menu option that aims as just creating a tab group.
