A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
This is neat, but I feel like Opera had this waaay back like 15-20 years ago. My memory could be wrong though, I stopped using in favor of Firefox a looog time ago

Since 2008! And according to that link, apparently Firefox 3.1 had tab previews back then as well?

Oh awesome, been waiting for this!
Also really nice to see the ~10% performance improvement in some workflows in there
Huh, not a feature I ever thought about but could be nice.
Now fix the fact that I have too slowly scroll horizontally through all my tabs because they are individually too wide for the number I have open.
There's a dropdown next to the tab strip that shows all the tabs (and their titles/names) in a dropdown scrolling list.
Alternatively, the omnibar can search tabs, for the specific one you're looking for. Ctrl+Pageup/Pagedown (and Ctrl+tab) can also fine scrub through the tab strip.
Thanks. I know. It's still the major thing I miss since switching away from chrome. And the extensions available to solve this are severely lacking.
You can also fix it with a custom userChrome.css, which lets you set the min and max tab width before they begin to scroll.
In other words you can make it so that if one or two tabs are open they take all the space and the more you open they all shrink equally up to a point.
On ff?
librewolf, but should work on firefox.
Here is mine, it is very keyboard driven so it might not work for you, but you can copy the tab width settings: https://pastebin.com/f5AvQuJu
Thank you
I think a built in tab manager is a better idea. But we have a lot of plugins for that so guess it's OK.
Definitively going to be useful. I’m just wondering if this will work with extensions like Adblock or Dark Reader?
