Monitors are horizontal, webpages are vertical. Horizontal tabs waste precious space.

    It always bothers me about this whole vertical tab concept, that, on a theoretical level, I'm fully on board with what you're saying. But in practice, I'll often have Firefox tiled side-by-side with another window, and then it's painful for that sidebar to take up any space at all.

    I am happy, though, that this feature is being integrated for the people that find it useful.

    I have a keybind to close the tab side window. Works pretty nicely when i have firefox tiled beside some other window. I don't need to see the tabs all the time. But when i am looking at them; it's nice to have them stacked, on the side.

    But how are you going to read the title of the tab without making the sidebar too wide? That's like having a vertical taskbar in the days before Windows 7 came out.

    Exactly. Monitors are horizontal. Tab names are horizontal. They should be listed vertically with the names written horizontally. You can hide them if you need to, but I find my monitor has plenty of space.

    ... you can hide them and only show when you open a new tab ...

    Not like you need your bookmarks at the same time while browsing other pages.

    You won't like the way I do my work. Tabs, everywhere. Multiple browsers.

    I really need things to be as in my face as possible else I WILL forget about it until I'm looking through my assigned JIRAs like 3 months from now.
