The new feature in Firefox 2 for scrolling tabs is almost impossible to press:
1- it's really small
2- it doesn't extend to the window edge
3- the right arrow is next to a "close tab" button
Fitt's Law says that bigger buttons are easier to target. Widgets at the screen borders (like the scrollbar, or the "bookmarks toolbar button") usually allow clicking with the cursor at the screen edge. The arrow buttons for tab scrolling should do the same.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open tabs until the "scroll tab" arrows get active
2. Maximize window
3. Move mouse to the (right or left) edge of the screen
4. Put mouse at the same height as the arrow button, still at the (right or left) edge
5. Click.
Actual Results:
The arrow button doesn't get clicked.
Expected Results:
With the window maximized, clicking at the edge of the screen should press the arrow button.
It's also too easy to close the rightmost tab, instead of scrolling, since the two buttons are of similar sizes and very close one to the other.
