completely working tabbed browsing,

By implementing tabbed browsing you made your life quite a bit more complicated. :-)

In a simple document based application each window controller displays only one document. But you are displaying one document for each tab all in the same window. You will need to account for that in your communication between the document controllers and the window controllers.

Since I have no data that I'm manipulating is it correct to have all of the code in the FWWindowController class?

No. You do have at least the URL. I didn't read about WebCore yet, so I don't know if there's some data model you could store inside your document object.

Or should I have created all of my outlets in the MyDocument class?

No. :)

You connect your outlets to the window controller. The window controller then asks the document controller to do the work. The document controller instructs the window controller to display the updated document.

Read more about MVC here:

Oh one last question. How am I supposed to tell if a method is called by Cocoa and available for me to override or simply there for me to call?

By reading the documentation. ;-)

More specifically, I didn't know that readFromFile and writeToFile were used in the NSDocument class to write to a file. I thought they were there for me to use in addition to loadDataRepresentation and dataRepresentationOfType.
