Firefox Vertical Bar
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
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.
Now this is a much more reasonable default. Like me. I managed to close a bunch of tabs and a window this week.
I close all my tabs many times a day. Probably would be about 50-150+ a day if I didn't tho lol
Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.
Mozilla have confirmed that is in their plans
You can hide it via css
Can anybody post some pictures?
Looks like this, but its subject to change
Is there an option to expand the vertical tabs so that they say the page title?
Yes, but its a button, not on hover
I've already seen people suggesting "expand on hover" to Mozilla, on Connect, I think. Hoping they consider it, later on.
Is that Gnome with a DK/SE/NO locale?
Idk, its not my image, although ive used the feature
Coolcoolcoolcoolcool….
I think it looks elegant. Nice. I will keep using CTRL + [insert number here], though.
It's native and in work, I hope they will do something like sidetabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidetabs/)
OMG finally! Now I don't need a bunch of addons that always break to do this!!
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
Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.
it enables me leaving open a billion tabs because they're so easy to switch between and organise with it 😭😭😭
Never see anything on this one I think... Or don't remember. I was using sidetabs.
highly recommend checking it out! it's very feature rich!
And I hope it will be a killing feature!
hard to say which tab is active
It's that one
Centering also doesn't look great
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
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.
I don't see the difference
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.
Make it look and feel like Arc browser and I'll gladly switch.
Just got rid of samsungs version on my phone, aint even gonna dick around with that one
