Native Vertical Tabs

[Gecko]

From the previous post on Crowdicity:

I would like to see vertical tabs baked in. MS Edge now has it out of the box!

I currently use addons for this - but there's no way to disable the top tab bar, which duplicates the tabs and takes up space.

Vertical tabs (with top bar disabled) would free up more space for web content, which is (usually) vertical. Most screens are widescreen (RIP ThinkPad 4:3 ratios), so the less browser UI at the top/bottom, the more content we can view.

The original post received 154 votes and as such was the 3rd highest voted post in the "General" category.

@BloodAngel_sanYou can actually enable the sidebar right now, but there aren't many customization options available right now. But if you want to enable it, you can by going to "about:config" and adding "sidebar.revamp". Now just set it to "true" and restart your browser. There is another thread on here that mentions improvements to the sidebar: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/improvements-to-the-firefox-sidebar-are-on-the-way/td-p/5...

Vertical iconized tabs with flexible collapsible divider on mouse over, left/right position with tab preview and cloud tabs integration.

Hello there! @Elle  a have a few in different collections in my profile and the one i like the most is tabcenter-reborn 👍🏻

[ITtechCA]

uhm @Gecko @Elle @Jon very look alike the one i have in FF and FFDev maybe is the same 😂 Nice 👍🏻

Lack of built-in vertical tabs are what keeps me from moving from Edge to FF.

@Khrimsonwelcome , you came to the right place 👍🏻 Mabríka in Taino language 🪶

Please bring this to fruition. I’ll happily return to Firefox if it’s at least equally as good as Edge Chromium’s use of vertical tabs.

[elektrinis]

It hurts saying this, but Microsoft got it better with edge. Vertical grouped tabs, alt-tab tabs treated as windows. These to nuances are holding me from returning to firefox. I use Edge for now.

[Khrimson]

Completely agree.  On an ultrawide monitor, I use the Split Screen functionality all the time (i'm honestly not sure if FF has that too, i just noticed it first in Edge).

@Khrimson appreciate the feedback! We have split view at the top of our backlog - there's actually a separate thread for that request here: Split-screen/Tab-in-Tab feature (view more than one tab at once) 

Feel free to check it out, add any additional thoughts, and follow along for updates. We'll post them there as they are available.
