Detecting whether Firefox 3 browser window has tabs with JavaScript

Is it possible in Firefox 3 to detect in JavaScript whether the browser window that a page is in has tabs?

I can do this in IE by calling window.moveBy(1,1) and seeing if the window actually moved. If it didnt move, then the IE window probably has tabs.

Good try, that's what I thought. I was hoping there was a clever way like the IE solution I discovered. Oh well....

Oh well, I was hoping there was some clever indirect solution like I had for IE, but I guess not.
