Description Bastien Nocera 2007-03-11 23:17:35 UTC 
It would allow to look for tabs better than having to click on every opened Epiphany window.
Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2007-03-12 00:15:10 UTC 
Since tabs break the SDI metaphor anyway, this sort of makes sense to me...
Comment 2 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-07 04:49:02 UTC 
The tabs menu is gone these days. This will make more sense with the new tab queue thingy.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2012-10-08 14:38:17 UTC 
The tabs menu is gone, but the problem of finding a tab within multiple windows remains.
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-08 15:48:54 UTC 
I hear you, but as I said I suspected this would be solved by the newer tab+queue+bookmarks design.

On the other hand though... wouldn't having a "switch to other tabs found from the location bar autocompletion dropdown" (like Firefox does) solve the problem In that case perhaps we could rename this bug report to suggest that.

Comment 6 Michael Knepher 2014-04-16 19:14:42 UTC 
This is still an area that needs attention. With my browsing habits, I generally have at least two windows, each of which has multiple tabs open, and it's nearly impossible to find a particular tab. There needs to be some way to easily access a listing of all open tabs (in the current window as well, not just in another window). At the very least, something like the Firefox behavior mentioned in comment 4 would be a great help.
