I cannot add new tabs with javascript.

Added tabs are right-aligned and invisible in the DOM inspector. When clicking on the dynamicly created tabs I get 
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Security error"  code: "1000" nsresult: "0x805303e8 (NS_ERROR_DOM_SECURITY_ERR)"  location: "chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbox.xml Line: 344"]

In my remote XUL CMS where I use this method of adding tabs in bindings (inside other bindings) it looks OK except the fact that newly added tab gains automaticly focus and fires onselect event which breaks important (for remote applications) lazy initialization of WYSIWYG editors embeded in the tabs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attachement
2. Click on the numbered tabs

Actual Results:  
1. DOM inspector does not show dynamicly added tabs
2. New dynamicly added tabs are right-aligned.
3. When clicking on the dynamicly added tabs SECURITY exception is thrown.
4. Newly created tabs gain focus and prevent lazy initializations on "select" event. (which is reproducible in my remote app where I use bindings inside bindis- unable to provide you with URL because whole app is broken because of the newest FF changes)

Expected Results:  
Hm. Working and consistent tabs?

I have the remote XUL application that has bindings inside bindings. In this application the look of the tabs is OK but I'm experiencing the problem when adding new tabs with JS. Every new tab gains focus and fires onselect event. Since this is remote XUL application it breaks the lazy initialization of the WYSIWYG editors embeded in the dynamicly added tabs.

When I tried to extract problematic piece of code from the complex remote XUL CMS app I found that the tabs behave very strange. The result is attached within this bug.

Attachment: New tabs added dynamicly with JS does not work as expected.
