See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48034. This is a feature 
that gets requested every so often (see 2001 date on the original 
report), but has so far been repeatedly rejected.

Problems include:
* How would tabbed browsing interact with the current spatial and 
browser interfaces?
* The lack of anyone who wants the feature being willing to write the 
code for it. This is the big stumbling block, especially as earlier 
discussions seem to indicate that this would be non-trivial to implement 
and require significant architectural changes internally within Nautilus.

Hope that helps clarify the situation,
