Original idea. It annoys me. I must be careful not to choose it by mistake when I type some stuff. I prefer not to have it, so my first request is: Please provide an option to disable that. Anyway, having this annoying "Go to tab" proposition *in addition to* the wanted entries would not a big deal. But the "Go to tab" proposition *replaces* my wanted entry! This is much more serious. I have some page in the history, I begin typing its title or address, and it does not get auto-completed, and I can not go to it from the auto-complete history. This is really bad. So, my second request: Please put the relevant entries in the auto-complete history, even if some of them are already open. Thanks, Nicolas Barbulesco Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to address www.apple.com/iphone/ in a Firefox tab. 2. Open a new Firefox window. 3. In the new window, begin typing the address "www.apple.com/iphone/" or the title "Apple - iPhone 4 - Video calls, multitasking, HD video, and more" of the page. Actual Results: The existing tab removes useful functionality. Expected Results: The existing tab adds some functionality or does nothing. Firefox 4.0.1 Windows.

Hold down SHIFT (or ALT) when the switch-to-tab entry is selected and press enter to reopen the same page. Otherwise you can disable the functionality using this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-blacklist/ and setting its pref to [".*"] Also, one request per bug report please.

(In reply to comment #1) > Hold down SHIFT (or ALT) when the switch-to-tab entry is selected and press > enter to reopen the same page. Thank you, Shift is nice. But before using it, I have to find the entry. Which is hard, because the text "Go to tab" hides the entry's address. This workaround would be better if Shift entered in effect even before I choose the entry in the list.

I remember that, on Windows, pressing Shift transformed the "Go to tab" line into a normal history line, thus allowing me to select it. Now I encounter the "Go to tab" annoying behaviour on Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Firefox 5.0, and Shift does the transformation *but the line is transformed back into "Go to tab" when I release Shift*. So I cannot use the Shift workaround.
