All the tabs should be listed in the Window menu (sessions). That will allow the
user to select a specific tab from the menu.

I have some code that I might be able to adapt for this purpose.
See also Mozilla equivalent bug 105028. I presume you envision an heirarchical list?

Could be hierarchical. Personally I would favour a flat list because it's
simpler (for UE standpoint). If they could pick a tab out would people care what
window it's in?

How would you differentiate between actual windows and tabs if it was flat? I agree that it would be more convenient but it seems to go against normal expectations for what is in the menu.
Maybe if you have the tabs that belong to an actual window indented below the window name it would be clear and still maintain the convenience? And, um, choosing just the window would leave the focus on whatever tab was currently in front.
Window 1
tab 1
tab 2
tab 3
Window 2
tab 1
etc.

Yeah, I could do that too.

Ping ping.
How hard is this? It seem reasonable to do, just simply indent the tabs as
comment 4 suggests. For the record, Safari does what we do.

This is also needed for accessibility.
Users without access to a mouse have no way of seeing the titles of tabs that are currently open or switching to a specific one. This would fix that.
While I'm not a fan of "Window 1", that does seem to be the best way to do it.

The other way to do this, as was suggested in the forum [1], could be to create a palette which lists the titles of all open tabs.

Just attaching the palette from the thread here for posterity so it doesn't disappear on us.

I don't think there's any way that the Window menu will scale to the use of tabs that some of us exhibit. It'd work well for small numbers of windows with small numbers of tabs, but not for anything beyond that. For finding lost tabs particularly, the palette is really the way to go (esp. with search).
(I almost think the palette would be even better than the "All Tabs" menu that we have on the scrolling tab bar, which is hard to use in many cases [bug 376930].)

Going to take a look at this after a few tab dragging follow ups, I have a few good ideas floating around in my head. If anyone, hendy especially, finds time before me, feel free to let me know.

I asked for this feature. My vote = No, I would not mind = focus is to find an open page among many windows/tabs. Pages/tabs does not have to be listed directly in window menu, but panel/dialog selection for page/tab finding logically belongs there.

Default Safari/Chrome startup screen shows a gallery of recently visited pages. This is excellent visual bookmark method for a startup screen. I am not directly asking here for Camino to have that (although it would be nice) as this is discussion about open pages/tabs.
So idea for this "catalog" of open pages that it could also be made using gallery approach - a gallery of all open pages. Coupled with "about:openpages" artificial url it can be extended with other possible features under right click context menu on top visual page representation. This is by far more complex solution than a list panel w/search but can be innovative feature other browsers do not particularly have (some FF extensions do something in this fashion although in one window of tabs)

Until a week or two ago, when I clicked on the "Windows" menu at the top of my screen, it would show me a list of all the tabs I had open, but this handy helper suddenly stopped. Now, when I click on "Windows" it only shows me the open windows.
I just upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1, but the list of all open tabs is still not working. I'm using Firefox on an iMac with OS X 10.5.8. Is this the Mac version of the missing "List All Tabs" button? (Bug 714281)
I tried using the "Permanent List-all-tabs Button" add-on, but it didn't do anything, presumably because I'm using a Mac. Is there any way I can get back my handy list of all open tabs??
