Build ID: 20110829055008

Steps to reproduce:

Currently by default Aero Peek shows tabs from all tab groups, there should be a pref that gives the user the option to show all tabs or only tabs from the current tab group in the Aero Peek preview.

I wouldn't mind taking this but I'm not sure what the UI should look like (radio buttons?) or if this is something that will be taken in the first place.  Or if we should do this behaviour always when tab previews are on.  CC'ing Jim.

I was thinking perhaps a drop down may be the best solution here? In the same fashion we do for "When Firefox starts" so "In the task bar display" Tabs from current group only/Tabs from all groups, windows.

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Tab previews were disabled by default as UX felt they were clunky and interfered with the use of the browser. So basically we are free to experiment around. (See bug 522035 as well.)

Great news. In that case most certainly give it a go bbondy. Going through the options, we generally use drop downs for multiple options, so the only real issue would be the wording, other than than that, I think it should go on the 'tabs' tab replacing the current option.

Duplicate of bug 587440?

This sounds more like an enhancement request then a bug. Paul, please set its importance accordingly.

Bug 627895 is asking for the same and seems to be assigned to the right component.
