           Summary: Add the possibility to properly handle the Browsers
                    Tabs in Selenium3
           Product: Browser Test/Tools WG

I would like to have the following functions to be implemented in Selenium3:
1. Ability to open any tabs in the opened browser by webdriver.
2. Ability to select any of the opened tabs from the opened browser by
webdriver.
3. Ability to perform any of the actions on any of the tabs that could have a
normal browser window.

The reason to asking this because sometimes you have a test execution flow
which requires to do some actions a bit outside of the current context.
For an example:
You are shopping for something.
Your items are place in your basket.
You have the possibility to signup on the basket.
You receive a confirmation email. As a normal use case driven by a user it will
open the same browsers window in a new tab.
Check some texts.
Close the Tab,
Continue with the checkout.

This is one simple example.

Raising the issue for the specification of:
