Yes, just like the other restrict characters, its editable via a hidden preference. For tabs, its: browser.urlbar.restrict.tab

Will the restricting character be editable? :-)

I think this will be very helpful as my daily surfing usually consists of 30-40 tabs or more!

I’m aiming to get this into the first 3.7 alpha, so the brave testers can get to it without having to run a special build.

You can limit the results to only tabs by using $ (dollar sign) as the restrict character (ie, “$ mozilla” to get all tabs matching “mozilla”). That may or may not change before it hits 3.7.

This idea is a really cool one, a step ahead towards the Firefox domination over internet explorer, thats actually great because internet explorer sucks….
