Comment 8 for bug 743447

@ Kenneth, yes actually I think you're right. It would be more consistent with button placement for the "new" whatever across other apps as well.

@ Hernán, That seems like another discussion entirely, but I think it'd be interesting to sit down with a few users and see how they use the browser without an address bar. I'm not sure how they would do it, to be honest. But yes, this is another interesting argument is that the new tab button (in the toolbar) becomes useless if you don't have the address bar also shown.

@ gue5t, Even if it was a configurable behavior, I think it's important that it default to being included. Consider that the more experienced users who might not want this are going to know how to turn it off, but the less experienced users who are going to expect this (from using other web browsers) aren't going to know how to turn it on.
