Nope, the tabs switching page is still a pain to get to in Mango. What Microsoft is supposedly planning to bring back in a post-Mango update is the Find on Page feature that was was stripped from the OS with the Mango update. Exciting right? Well not to me. I want the old tabs icon back and also the ability to navigate forward (yep, did you realize that it was gone too?).

Find on page is not available in Mango. We know it is useful in some scenarios and plan to bring it back in the future.

This is the same kind of awkward decision that brought us the “no-way to save camera settings” goody that users had to live with for one full year before it got fixed in Mango.
