I've found another bug or design issue. In vertical tab mode, a "flexible space" is forced into the toolbar to shorten the address bar and it cannot be removed. I had a longer address bar before turning vertical tabs on and it is very noticeable in a few situations.
Edit: The excess space can be suppressed by turning the title bar on. Very buggy.
Hm, I could've sworn hardware video decode for AMD already was working on FF Linux...

I'm looking forward to vertical tabs. I wonder how they will look together with the tab groups.
I've been rocking vertical tabs for a while on nightly along side the profile switcher. Honestly? Absolutely game changing. It's been a breath of fresh air, Firefox feels transformed into a progressive browser for the first time in a long long time.
As for groups, here's an example. I don't personally use groups that much, I prefer profiles where I can keep environments segregated, but the groups do look pretty nice.
Here's 2 groups with another tab at the top to give perspective
And I collapsed the top one
And here's a full screenshot just to help put it in perspective
@DWin A nice, thank you very much. Until now I didn't realize you could collapse the groups. That's pretty neat.
How do you make the shortcuts on the home page larger? They suddenly shrank when I updated to 136 and that's very annoying because I use them heavily. Even turning "recommended stories" off doesn't fix it, but it fixes the shortcuts being tiny and the stories huge.
@Shihali@sh.itjust.works I will take a look and let you know. I haven’t notice anything like that on my end.
