Currently, if one were to set about:blank to an application tab, due to the tooltip text on a blank tab: "New Tab" this may be interpreted as a button (what application tabs look like, i.e., favicon) to open new tabs. This may be confusing to the end user. Should blank tabs be allowed to be set as an application tab? Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b2pre) Gecko/20100707 Minefield/4.0b2pre
