Cool Andy, thanks..
As a side-note, here's another reason why I don't like this new tabs feature:
You can only re-position tabs around the visible tabs. If any tabs exist beyond the left or right arrows, you can't just drag it to the far right (or left), and have it "auto scroll." You have to click the arrows first, and then drag it.
It needs to "auto sense" that you are trying to drag beyond the visible view.
Woops nevermind. I was wrong. I didn't test it enough, and rushed that point out. It seems to auto-scroll just fine, when re-arranging tab order.

Using a recent Mac and Firefox 2, you can use your trackpad to scroll through opened browser tabs.

Works on Firefox 2 on a PC as well. It looks like there is a property in "about:config" called "browser.tabs.tabMinWidth". If you crank this up to 500 or something, you'll see the little arrow after just having a few tabs open. Looks like there are a lot of new properties to tweak when searching for "tab".
