Ok, so do that once and you're done. :)

It should be an option in the UI though.

It removes the close/maximize/minimize buttons though. Not ideal.

I remember back in the day (FF 4?) I had the window buttons, tabs, back/forward, URL bar, etc all on one row, which was pretty cool. So it was something like this, from left to right:

  1. Firefox menu - was Firefox, but now would be the hamberger menu
  2. back/forward buttons
  3. extension butons
  4. URL bar
  5. tabs

It worked pretty well. It would be nice to do that again.

This is avoidable with the right CSS.

I'm sure you're right lol I just don't know it and its more work than it needs to be.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

That it is. Firefox updates have broken my CSS several times now, so I am quite happy for them to add side tab officially.

[–] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

I have been running vertical tabs for a while now and it's broken about 3 times, once every few months. Currently, I've had no min/maximise/close buttons for about a week because I can't be bothered to fix it. Far from "one and done".
