Create new tabs via double-click in Safari 3.1 Web Browsers
As of Safari 3.1, double-clicking on a free area in the tab bar opens a new tab. I've wanted this feature since it was introduced in Firefox, and now my favorite browser has it, too.

You sure?
I think it has been working also on previous versions...

It worked in previous versions if you had Saft installed, but stock Safari didn't do it.

It's a nice feature for those of us with the strange "open a blank tab, then click a bookmark/fill in an address" mentality. For whatever reason, I just can't train my fingers to use cmd-return or cmd-click...

Of course, this only works if the tab bar is showing, which by default in Safari 3, it only shows if there are 2 or more tabs open. So, you'll probably want to refer to this hint to Always Show the Tab Bar:

Actually, that hint is outdated: Safari now remembers the state of the View -> Show (Hide) Tab Bar menu item. If you make the tab bar visible and quit/relaunch Safari, the tab bar will be visible, and vice-versa. Hence, that hint is no longer required.
