When I open a site in a pop-up (so without the File, Edit etc menu's) and I
accidently open a new tab in that screen with Crtl+T, I cannot return to the
other tab, because I have no elements by doing so.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a site in a tab (e.g. a Webmail site)
2. Open a new tab with Ctrl+T in that pop-up screen
3. Try to get to the other tab

Actual Results:  
I got a blank (new) tab screen, and I could not return to the other screen/tab.

Expected Results:  
Provide a short-key which could provide me a return option to another tab in a
screen.

Do you have a URL which shows the problem?

I also see this, this happends when a popup is opened showing no toolbars, then
if you click on a link in thunderbird for example, it will open the new page in
the most recent window, which is the popup. There will be no tabs to close the
new page in the popup. Only ctrl + w will do the trick.
