// Show a given a URL. If a tab with the same URL (ignoring the ref) is
// already visible in this browser, it becomes selected. Otherwise a new tab
// is created.

// about:blank, then overwrite it with the passed contents.

// Creates a NavigateParams struct for a singleton tab navigation.

// If the given navigational URL is already open in |browser|, return
// the tab and tab index for it. Otherwise, returns -1.
