Mozilla rethinks the behavior of new browser tabs
A few months ago Mozilla embarked on a quest to determine a way to make new browser tabs more useful. Right now, when you open a new tab in Firefox you get a blank page. Compare that with Google Chrome, Safari, or Opera, which show you a list of shortcuts to your bookmarked or frequently visited pages.
Today Mozilla's Aza Raskin shared some of the team's conclusions, based on user feedback. Basically, most of the time when you open a new tab it's because you're going to load a web page or conduct a search. The image above shows a screen that tries to help you accomplish these things without getting in your way or requiring much user interaction.
Along the right side of the window you'll find a list of frequently visited web sites.
