When there’s only one tab, and you open a new tab, the original tab’s close button only appears after the opening animation.

For improved perceived performance, we should show the tab close button immediately when the second tab is opened instead of waiting for the animation to finish.

this should be:
this.tabContainer.adjustTabstrip();

I'll review this patch as I probably know this code best, having implemented the tab opening animation.

Why did you make this stop handling _fullyOpen=true? For the case of opening a new tab, _fullyOpen is false.

I removed the handling of _fullyOpen=true since all it did was call this.adjustTabstrip, which I'm now doing earlier. I've now reverted this section in this version of the patch.

Are there other ways that transitionend can be hit where we wouldn't have called adjustTabstrip already?

As I said, _fullOpen is false in the case you're dealing with.

This additional adjustTabstrip call shouldn't happen for each new tab but only if the animation is used and there are two tabs in the tabstrip (including the new one).

I added a conditional so that this would only happen when there are two tabs and the browser.tabs.animate preference is set to true.

There's also the aSkipAnimation parameter. However, instead of adding that check here, just move this up to the code that actually kicks off the animation.

And please add a comment on why adjustTabstrip is called early even though it will be called again when the animation stops.

This can't be moved to where the animation is kicked off because the tab hasn't been appended to the tabContainer at that point. adjustTabstrip uses tabContainer.childNodes for its logic, and calling it before the tab is appended means that the function will think there is only one tab and won't add the close button.

The animation is kicked off after a timeout -- you can move it right there. This will also catch the case of the tab having been pinned in the meantime.

I wasn't sure if this should be placed after _animStartTime is measured or before, but I put it after since this will probably affect the animation speed and it would be good to measure what affect it has.

No need to check browser.tabs.animate here. Also, you can access tabContainer within that function without "self".

I'd like this comment to point out that:
1) calling adjustTabstrip here is in a way redundant (it's going to be called again as the transition ends) and
2) that's OK, because we're doing it early for a reason.

Right now you're only really communicating the second point.

Whoops, sorry about that.

OK, I've updated the comment to point out the redundancy.

"This call to adjustTabstrip is redundant but needed so that when opening a second tab, the first tab's close buttons appears immediately rather than when the transition ends."
