List all tabs

[Zentient]

Please allow users the ability to remove the "List all tabs" drop down... some of us are minimalists that prefer to keep things lean and mean.

Thank you

I never have enough tabs open for this to be useful for me, allow users the choice please

Hi All, there is a setting for this, but you do have to dig for it:

(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. Please keep in mind that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(B) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled and pause while the list is filtered

(C) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false -- this takes effect in new windows and/or after you exit/quit and restart Firefox

Note that when there are enough tabs to cause the left and right scroll buttons to appear, you'll still get the Tab Manager button even with this preference set to false, same as earlier versions of Firefox.

That worked perfectly, thank you so much for your reply and solution!

There is no need to hide such trivial settings in about:config.
