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] 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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] 3 points 2 months 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] 4 points 2 months 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] 4 points 2 months ago

Team Panorama nods politely in your direction.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Mozilla have confirmed that is in their plans

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You can hide it via css

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Can anybody post some pictures?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Looks like this, but its subject to change

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but its a button, not on hover

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool….

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

And I hope it will be a killing feature!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

hard to say which tab is active

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

It's that one

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Centering also doesn't look great

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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 2 months ago

I don't see the difference

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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