That would save one step in setting up a new system. Tree Style Tabs doors not want to behave right by default I've always gotta use the profile customization. But if that could be native it'd be so nice.

Finally. I have been waiting for vertical tabs for ages. Add-ons work but require tweaking the CSS in order to hide the horizontal tabs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I just hope we will be able to disable and remove horizontal tabs without using Firefox's vertical tabs. I doubt they will be better than Sidebery. Playing with CSS just to remove horizontal tabs is impractical.

Vertical tabs will be huge for me. On a big monitor, I don't really mind one way or the other, but I use a tiny little screen on my linux laptop. there is not a lot of vertical real estate to go around, so vertical tabs will be a game-changer.

If the AI features are actually useful (like the automatic page translation they did recently), then I'm all for it.

try tree style tab or sidebery

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I like tree tabs, but I hate that you can't easily get rid of the tabs on top, I want vertical tabs and no horizontal ones

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

you just need to modify the userChrome.css. is one of the first things i do after installing ff

Here is what I use for vertical tabs that might fit your needs.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Let's go!

We've been listening to your feedback, and we're prioritizing the features you want most.

Productivity boosters like

  • Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, and our handy Sidebar will help you stay organized no matter how many tabs you have open -- whether it’s 7 or 7,500.
  • Plus, our new Profile Management system will help keep your school, work, and personal browsing separate but easily accessible.

Profile management is key

Hope we get a mouseover sidebar expansion too, like edge has for its vertical tabs.

Was using Floorp for awhile because I like the layout with a custom CSS theme. I can't wait for it to be official, because the Floorp developers put on a recent update article that says they are looking at ways to monetize the browser without sacrificing user privacy and security, and I just don't like that thought process at all. I know it is unpaid work, but I already have enough things in my life trying to monetize me. I definitely don't need another!

Here is the update they provided, but under Changes they say,

"Later this year, Ablaze plans to launch a number of initiatives to help maintain the health of the browser and generate revenue from its software in a way that doesn’t compromise user privacy."

I love Simple Tab Groups extention, hopefully it will be similar

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Same. It's honestly really, really good. Not sure what else I'd want from it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Oh, this is fantastic! Been using vertical tabs since i saw them with tree style tabs and partially ditched chrome partially because of inability to have it even as an extension. That plus well tweaked userChrome is godsent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

yes please 💜

Is there a decent hover zoom plugin for Firefox? That and vertical tabs were some of the only things holding me back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I use the same one I used in Chrome before switching, it works in Firefox too: Imagus

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Been using Winger to manage tab groups using multiple windows, hope the built in functions will have similar options

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Can we have multiple columns yet for bookmarks and tabs in separate places?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Wait, are they actually doing development work, or are they just merging from downstream?
