Middle-clicking a link in page opens up another tab (instead of window), which is unstyled. I tried to redirect all new tabs to show up as windows, but I think that's only enabled for JavaScript links that force open a new tab/window as a window, not the user-intiated middle click or context menu "Open Link in New Tab" option.
So, ideally, we'd:
Switch to using the default window manager titlebar.
Only show the tab bar when there's 1 tab (since it seems we cannot turn off tabs completely in modern Firefox).
Stop unstyling the tabs (just hide the bar completely when there aren't any tabs).
Use the limited session from GNOME Initial Setup to hide the close button instead.
I can do # 1 - 3 in the theme. Hopefully the desktop team can solve # 4 for us. Even without # 4, I think the rest still make sense for us to handle.
We'll need to handle the window close (by handling the beforeunload event) ourselves regardless, whether or not there's an (X), anyway.

The Firefox-provided titlebar has some drawbacks:
