The ability to pull tabs from other Firefox instances via Weave is
very handy to me but could be improved for certain scenarios. While at
work I frequently stumble across something that I want to look at when
I get home. I could wait until I get home, then pull the interesting
tab from my work computer, but that means I have to keep the tab open
all day at work, then remember to pull it when I get home. I'd like to
send tabs from my work computer to my home computer, have them
magically open there (immediately, if the browser is open, or whenever
I next sync). This would be a very handy feature for me.
I think that's a pretty good idea. I only question if Weave has (or
Firefox allows) the ability to actually open a new tab automatically
on a different computer. You can always make sure there isn't a bug
for this and then create one and see what more knowledgeable people
say (or they may comment here).

Awesome idea. If Weave can't force another browser to open the tab,
maybe it could have a toolbar for "pushed tabs" or something that
calls attention to the tabs you've asked to be opened in that other
browser?

Couldn't you do something similar using an add-on like ReadItLater?
Mark the tab to be read later, close and open at home? I don't think
ReadItLater automatically opens up the tab on the remote computer,
plus you'll need the add-on on both computers.
Not saying Weave shouldn't incorporate this feature...
