tabs in firefox2

[jkresh]

Is there anyway to allow for multiple lines of the tab bar in Firefox 2.0? I tend to have a lot of tabs open at once and while the scrolling feature is nice it makes it a lot slower to move between tabs then it was in 1.5 where I could have everything visible at once (even if the tabs were very small and it took 1.5 lines on a wuxga display). I have tried lowering the minimum pixels a tab can take up to 15 (which on a 1900x1200 should allow for significantly more tabs then are showing up.)

I would really like to know this as well. I really dislike the scrolling-tab feature. How'd you change the minimum tab pixels?

 

[jkresh]

someone suggested going to about:config and setting minimum tab width to 0, which does allow for more tabs but still significantly less then in 1.5.

Ah IC, thanks. ***free bump!**** 😛

but anyways, I felt that 2.0 is nothing but 1.5 w/ the addition of the popular extensions. I find that a bit lame. They should just release packages of FF then; like FF w/ these extensions.. FF preinstalled w/ a set of these, etc. :shrugs;

Did you even bother looking through the changelogs or the source tree? If it was just FF1.5+extensions why did it take so long to be released?

bump too. I hate having to scroll thru my tabs. I haven't updated ff on my laptop b/c having all of the tabs on screen is must for me.

Let's hope someone releases an extension to fix this....

"-How to I get tabs back to how Firefox 1.x was? Type about:config in the address bar, press enter, and set browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3 (puts the tab close button on the right instead of on the tabs), browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to 0 (lets tabs get really small before scrolling), and install this style (gets rid of the drop marker)."

Wow, IE7 must have an incredible number of improvements over IE6 :roll: 😉
