User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

If you double click the small (approx. 4 pixel) bar separating the web page and tabs a new tab will open.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs.
2. Double click the small bar between the web page and the tabs.
3. Watch a new tab open...
Actual Results:  
A new tab opened.

Expected Results:  
Nothing.

Occurs in all themes, only change I made to this Firefox 3 install is a few changes in About:Config concerning pipelining.

I'm not sure this is necessarily a bad thing.  It allows me to open a new tab through double-clicking even when the tab strip has been filled.

I never meant to say it was bad, just something they should know in case they didn't want it.

Able to open a new tab by clicking on the same bar separating the web page and tabs bar.

This is still the tabbar. It's not a different toolbar. The element in the background of the tabs is called tabstrip and it handles click events whereever you click.

Dao, can we wontfix that?
