Customizable Tab Width

[Steeltent]

Please add settings (or config flags) that lets the user customize the width of the tabs.

Right now the only way to do this is by modding the userChrome.css file and that is not convenient at all.

I'd like to see settings for minimum and maximum width of regular tabs, pinned tabs and tab groups.

There must already be internal settings for this, so please expose these to the user.

I have a hard time understanding why this feature is not available and why it's not by default like Chrome where it shrinks the tabs indefinitely. This is a major pain of using firefox browser, having to scroll from left to right at the top all the time to change between open pages, this is a big loss of time using the browser daily having to handle tabs scrolling. 

And the work around is way to complex, about:config browser.tabs.tabMinWidth setting doesnt even allow to make the behavior fonctionnal, it doesnt take care of values below 50 ti seems, and we have to create a userChrome.css file in order to get the behavior of the tabs right.

I don't understand why it cannot be like in chrome were it automatically resizes tabs indefinitely? You guys cannot put the option? what blocks the dev team to do so?

Thank you for considering this properly, this will be a great enhancement for the whole Firefox community
