Yeah it probably should. Please report to bugzilla. BTW, I'm amazed
people use the go button, isn't it a lot slower than just hitting
"Enter" in the location entry box ?

I have been annoyed by the selection bar dissappearing in other
applications :-)

Please report to bugzilla

We just need to implement the missing preference, there are even place
holders in the code for where it gets implemented.

-> bugzilla please-> bugzilla

Surely when opening a new tab, you want do something with it right
then ? I know that I would get very annoyed if Ctrl+T didn't jump to the
new tab, as I do Ctrl+T, Ctrl+L then type in a new address.

Yeah, the history dialog sucks at the moment,

I haven't heard of this idea before, although IMO it could get a bit
confusing if the action of a button changes when it is clicked (clicking
on it in its reload state would turn it into a stop button).
