The behaviour Varela describes sounds like a nuisance. I expect
hide *is* more efficient even with one window (contrary to what I
was thinking before). Even with lots of tabs. Better maybe than
docking, and having to remember to undock before a link click in
say a newsreader. The link click triggers the unhiding but not
the undocking presumably. A saving.

A possible sensible motivation for the FF behaviour: you don't
want to be looking at these links *right now* but storing them up
in tabs for later. Not possible without this behaviour if you
also need to keep screen real estate clear. The hide cannot match
this double motivation.
