In case of open many tabs some tabs are out of tab bar and last visible tab 
overlaped with "close tab" (white [X] on red background)button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the page with many links, ex. http://lenta.ru or any other news. 
2. Open links one by one "in new tab" (in my case at 1024*768 videomode 33 tabs 
is enought).

Actual Results:  
Last tab is overlapped with "close tab" ([X]) button. Next new tab will be 
opened somewhere out of screen. Clicking on overlapped place closing current 
tab.

Expected Results:  
There are some posibilities. 
1. Browser can prevent from opening more tabs than it can show in the tab bar 
(worst solution).
2. Tab bar can be expanded to more than one line.
3. All homeless tabs plus one can be hided and last one replasing with pair of 
navigation buttons ("<" and ">"). 
4. Above solutions can be implementing together and behaviour of tab bar can be 
selected by user.
