Love the tab's for all the open html pages where you can also backup or move forward and scroll through all the open tabs at the top near the menu bar.  however if you have a bunch open, its a pain to have to hold the mouse down over the left or right arrow to scroll to the start or end of all the tabs.  create a double << or >> arrows beside the single < >+ ones to allow quick movement to the start or end of all the tabs.

thanks,

Reproducible: Always

Confirming. Jumping to first and last tab with middle clicks on the buttons is a possibility, but nearly undiscoverable. Extra buttons require space. Putting the normal left/right and the outer left/right buttons above each other makes them too small, I guess.

Middle clicks don't do anything special, but double and triple clicks will let you move faster, as well as Ctrl+1/Ctrl+9.

space wise your only talking about an extra arrow on either side, could be a user option to have these double arrows displayed.  your only talking about 2 buttons total.  the <, >, + -  would be the default where the << < > >> + - would be a user option.

a) no one is going to do a ctrl1 or 9.  to cumbersome along with triple clicking.

b) maybe 1 out of a million people might know to triple click - it will never be utilized.
