One of the better features of seamonkey is the customizable sidebar, that is
strangely implemented in fbird as half a copy of M$IE's sidebars, and half a
page holder. Perhaps reimplementing the sidebar as it was, but adding the page
holder as a tab, something similar to what M$IE 5 for Mac does. One could drag
the page's favicon to the pageholder tab for it to remain loaded there, for example.

This impl is the result of a fair bit of testing and user feedback, most people
greatly prefer this, not least of which is the project owner, who has final say
over anything that goes into FB.
