604072 - Tab group names should be more distinct from page titles

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

I'm finding that the labeling of the tab groups in the title bar is confusing. When I first saw it I couldn't figure what it was, and it took me a bit to make the connection. I think that it would make more sense if the group name was placed elsewhere -- aligned to the left in the title bar, or perhaps integrated with the tab strip somehow.

howdy y'all,

i confess that this has been bugging me. for _me_ a reasonable effort would be to put square brackets around the tab group name. either that or a not-too-glaring formatting change. i'm going to see if the folks over at stylish can do up a style to use in the mean time.

take care,
lee

Not to be too nit picky, but isn't this fixed by 682996, not made invalid by it? (Just making sure I understand what happened in that bug...)

In comment 0, it suggested to put the group name in elsewhere in the title bar or tabstrip instead of removing it by bug 682996.  Therefore, I marked this as invalid instead of a duplicate of bug 682996.
