Firefox: Vertical tabs are here!

With the demise of Arc Browser, fear not, horizontal tabs are finally here in Firefox (with a little help).

It's built and deployed, just not yet set loose on the masses. But all it needs is a little tweak.

  • Go to about:config
  • set sidebar.verticalTabs to true
  • questionable: sometimes setting sidebar.revamp to true is also necessary, but in my case it was automatically set.

Resize the tab area with mouse to see tab names, adjust to taste.
