Take a look at my multi-window browser in Squeak trunk.  Its not tabs.
 Instead its a drop-down menu from the window title area of windows sharing
the one main menu.  It works well for me and doesn't waste vertical real
estate on the tabs themselves.  You can also populate them programmatically,
look at openCogMultiWindowBrowser in the VMMaker-oscog fork.  You need to
enable the Multi-Window Browser preference in browsing and open a new
browser to enable them.
