Yeah! It's finally here! Okay it's not sexy as some extensions already available but it's a good move!

I personally don't see a value until we can get rid of the title bar and gain some vertical space.

I say this as a sane person who maintains under 10 tabs at all times but I do acknowledge that most of you are lunatics when it comes to browser tabs.

Checking in with > 200 tabs in sideberry

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

On my desktop I've currently got 4 windows with 101, 103, 17, and 191 tabs. Think it's about 60 on my phone, and currently only about 30 on my tablet.

I'm in this rubber room with you and I'd like my multi-row tabs back.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Now this is a much more reasonable default. Like me. I managed to close a bunch of tabs and a window this week.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I close all my tabs many times a day. Probably would be about 50-150+ a day if I didn't tho lol

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Mozilla have confirmed that is in their plans

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You can hide it via css

[-] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

Can anybody post some pictures?

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

Looks like this, but its subject to change

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Is there an option to expand the vertical tabs so that they say the page title?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, but its a button, not on hover

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've already seen people suggesting "expand on hover" to Mozilla, on Connect, I think. Hoping they consider it, later on.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Is that Gnome with a DK/SE/NO locale?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Idk, its not my image, although ive used the feature

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool….

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think it looks elegant. Nice. I will keep using CTRL + [insert number here], though.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's native and in work, I hope they will do something like sidetabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidetabs/)

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

OMG finally! Now I don't need a bunch of addons that always break to do this!!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think the ultimate form of Firefox vertical tabs is sideberry

when they natively have all or most of the features that sideberry has, they would have mastered it

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

it enables me leaving open a billion tabs because they're so easy to switch between and organise with it 😭😭😭

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never see anything on this one I think... Or don't remember. I was using sidetabs.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

highly recommend checking it out! it's very feature rich!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And I hope it will be a killing feature!

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

hard to say which tab is active

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

It's that one

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Centering also doesn't look great

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

unfortunately it doesn't expand the tab names on hover; I find something like this more useful:

Sorry, but I already super enjoy tree style tabs, even though it was kind of a mess to configure

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The addon Tree style tabs itself shouldn't have been the problem, or was it? It's hiding the default tabs what's not a smooth process for me.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't see the difference

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Finally. I've been so excited for this. I have managed to never try any of the extensions so I won't be disappointed lol.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just got rid of samsungs version on my phone, aint even gonna dick around with that one

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Make it look and feel like Arc browser and I'll gladly switch.
