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.

@tehmGlad to see the tab previews are working! I don't seem to have them yet, but I might just be a version or two behind 🙂

Not just vertical tabs, but tree tabs.  Tree Style Tabs extension does this admirably and I have been using it for years now.  It is the single biggest feature that ties me to Fx.  Edge only has vertical tabs.  Chrome add-ins that try don't measure up to TST.  I am concerned that the author of TST will eventually give it up and that it will be lost when new Fx versions render it less compatible. 

Adopt his extension as native!!  It would be hard to match its features and functionality.

Here's just a peek at my tree:

Latest build looks great. Really glad this feature is finally coming to Firefox.

@pstrisikAbsolutely agree. When I found Tree Tabs it was exactly what I wanted.  I installed the extension and tried to set it up but, alas, I am an old dog trying to learn new tricks (I finished school when computers still used punch papers) and I couldn't figure out how to use it.  So I wound up on GitHub to ask for help but that place is just all coders who completely ignored ignorant little me.  I wound up just getting rid of it .

Why can't someone write instructions on how to set up and use these things in plain English? (boo-hoo). I need a serious tutorial just to learn how to use it!
