Hello again.

Last time I made a mistake and mixed up breadcrumbs and tab bar even though I meant tab bar. :)
So sorry for this - take a look at: brainstorm.php#idea85195 and forget about it.

So my idea is to add a new "add tab" button to the tab bar in Dolphin - like in Firefox 3.5 (KDE theme):

Now, you have to use menu entry or Ctrl+T shortcut to open a new tab - this useful feature is hidden for less advanced users.

Also, now tab bar is hidden by default so it seems that "show the tab bar" option should be included in configuration.

If you double-click a blank area you get a tab. This doesn't work if you have too many tabs open, but you need a lot of tabs to do that.

only if a tab is already open, otherwise it just opens the edit location in the breadcrumb. I think a button on the left to open a new tab, and a button on the right(when in tab view only) to close a tab is a good idea. I always change firefox to work this way and I got the idea from konqueror.
