Although the original design for the browser specified that pulldown
from the top would trigger opening a new tab, this was discussed today
with designers and challenged, and we agree that refreshing the page
would make more sense (and be more consistent with what other apps
do).
This requires some preliminary work in the web engine to enable it in
the browser though, and is tracked by
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1415952.

Not that I know of.
