IE7 Tabs

Andy.

I hear you, and for the exact reasons you mentioned. I can't tell where anything is anymore. I have used tabs in Firefox, and they 'appear' to be useful, but the taskbar is where the problem is. Group similar feature gives you a dropdown aof all the pages. Great feature, in theory, but I forgot why I ended up trashing that. There was something half-baked.
Now if tabbing could somehow tap into that (mouseover taskbar shows all open pages for that instance of browser), great. But it doesn't.
One Matts meat is another mans poison. I have 2 monitors, 4 desktops, too many projects. I might have a good 20 pages open. Flipping between desktops still requires me to move browsers to the focus. Just seems like a longer process.
But as for closing a window by mistake, there is a warning. If you don't read the tabs.... well.....

As for your request, here's how I did it (g)

Ahh but it does. Look in the tab bar on the very left you will see an icon that looks like a window. (Gotta have multiple tabs open for it to appear) then click that little bugger.

Yeah, nice (yawn) but I can just look at the tabs and see. The point here was the TASKbar, not the tab bar.

This is like my bank explaining that my balance alerts don't come in email, I have to log in, and on my main screen, which has all my balances, I need to press 'alerts' th see that there is an alert about my balances.

OLE TORRE!!!!
