• Firefox vertical tabs

    From TimH@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 5 12:10:11 2025
    I'm just trying this out - as someone said, Tree Style Tab is great, but the fewer extensions the better - but I can't see a way to reduce the space
    between tabs, which seems excessive. Am I missing something?

    Space between tabs is zero for me. https://imgur.com/a/M3iCvyY

    Not sure which options might affect that tbh.

    I do have custom User Style Sheet entries in the Advanced section which
    looks somewhat relevant, particularly the height: element?

    /* Add private browsing indicator per tab */
    .tab.private-browsing .label:before {
    content: "🕶";
    }

    /* tab decor */
    .tab {
    height: 26px;
    font-size: small;
    // font-style: italic;
    // font-weight: bold;
    opacity: 0.8;
    border: solid 1px #00000033; // transparent black lines
    }

    /* Remove new tab button */
    .newtab-button-box {
    display: none;
    }

    /* Only show tab close X on hover */
    .tab:not(:hover) .closebox {
    display: none;
    }

    Sorry - I put that really badly! Should have said: I normally use Tree Style Tab but am trying out the new built-in Firefox vertical tabs. That's what has the excessive space! (I thought for a moment you'd uncovered a whole screenful of options i'd missed :)

    I thought at least there might be a way to enable but hide the built-in vertical tabs, and carry on using TST, so as to get rid of the horizontal tab bar, but even that seems impossible. Grr.

    Going in the opposite direction, I use: https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx

    to get 6 rows of tabs, which I find much more usable than stock FF or
    vertical tabs. Each to their own...
