Mozilla released a Firefox Nightly test build with vertical tabs - gHacks Tech News
Mozilla released a standalone Firefox Nightly test build recently that includes support for vertical tabs. Here is how it looks.
Just the hide tabbar button would be amazing when combined with the existing vertical tab extensions. I know you can use custom css to hide the tab bar (that's what I do), but the option would make it accessible to regular users too.
Sounds like that's in here:
"The test build shows the horizontal tab bar and the sidebar at the same time by default. A click on the new "hide tab strip" button hides the horizontal tab bar so that only the vertical sidebar remains."
Finally!! I've been waiting for this so I can officially ditch edge
I use edge at work, and it does vertical tabs better than Vivaldi. I really hope to see this feature in more desktop browsers.
Just install Tree Style Tabs?
Ok, now do tab groups natively
I just want my menu icons back.. 😿
I've been using "edge-style" vertical tabs (collapsed to icons by default, expanded with text on mouse hover) for the past 2-3y with a custom CSS. I think expanding on hover is the best trade off between readability and good use of space - I wish Firefox implements it some day.
Would be interesting at least. But I prefer the hidden compact mode (unlock in about:config) and have everything slim. This is too padded
Not bad, Fox.
So will this deprecate the Tree Style Tabs plugin?
Depends on your use case. TST doesn't just do vertical tabs, it shows a tree view of child tabs which might be useful if you need that.
Yup, its supposed to also speed things up as well.
@KarnaSubarna Great news! Next step is improving the menu, adding more options and Firefox will be usable again!
