219709 - loading tab set deletes existing tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 208278

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Roderick Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030916
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030916

If tabs are present in the browser and the user loads a new tab set, all current
tabs are deleted and replaced with the new set. This action differs from prior
builds in that the tab set would append itself to the end of the currently
loaded tabs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one or more tabs
2. Load a tab set
3.

Actual Results:  
Previously loaded tabs are deleted.

Expected Results:  
New tab set should append to the end of the currently-loaded tabs. If this new
method of deleting existing tabs is a change in methodology, then please add a
preference setting in the Tabbed Browsing section so that users can decide if
they want currently loaded tabs to be deleted when a tab set is loaded.

I almost always have a tab or two that I am either saving or haven't looked at
when I load a new tab set. I definitely DO NOT want the tabs I still have in the
tab bar to be deleted when I load a tab set.
