It seems like tabs are opening and closing randomly as you navigate around. You guys need to do some real user experience testing with some real web developers before springing huge UX changes like this on users. I'm sure there are UX professionals who would be happy donate their time if they knew their conclusions would be given credence.

I resorted to calling initialize directly rather than addEventListener but that won't work for shutdown. I'm also struggling to share variables from Lib but this may well due to lack of initialization? Static variables are fine, but anything I try to create/change dynamically can't be seen by other modules. I'm running Firefox 3.0.11.
