Hi MissyQ and all
I don't have the time to read through all the replies but hope others see it in a similar way.
I guess the wish for closing tabs by double-clicking arises when you have vertical tabs and hide titles of websites are enabled. At least for me this makes it a little tedious to close a tab either with the mouse, the touchpad or on the touch screen.
I have two suggestions to resolve this and the accidental closing of a tab:
- Add the [x] to close in vertical tabs as a separate column next to the favicon.
Benefit: You don't have to hover over the tab or touch it and then move to the [x]. - Add a quick pop-up to undo the closing of a tab.
Benefit: If you accidentally close a tab one can quickly re-open it.
Just my two cents...
