Show more pinned tabs in vertical tab sidebar

[nf0a9usf9u43]

I would like to see more pinned tabs in the collapsed (icons only) vertical tab sidebar.

Currently the pinned tabs get truncated and you have to scroll through them if there are more than 4.

Thank you.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Absolutely this. I tend to put my browser on a monitor that's been rotated vertically so I have tonnes of vertical screen real estate. I have a bunch of common tabs pinned, and the current design doesn't let me take advantage of this at all.

yes, we definitely need this function!

[Horus_Sirius]

yes, this is more efficient at small screen sizes HD+ /HD

Agree ! being able to move the vertical-spacer could improve a lot the vertical tabs with pinned tabs feature

[Horus_Sirius]

press CTRL + ALT + Z and you only see the icons on the right side.

This was my main issue with the vertical tabs. I keep 6 tabs pinned at all times and I never want to have to scroll for them. Ideally, I never want to scroll for any number of pinned tabs unless my total number of tabs requires scrolling.

My solution locally was to modify userChrome.css, and add the following:

/* Vertical tabs allow all pinned tabs to show. */
#vertical-pinned-tabs-container {
max-height: none !important;
}

The solution with the configuration of the userChrome.css works for me. Don´t forget to set Firefox to use the userChrome.css in about:config !

toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets has to be set to "true"

Thanks for your solution @codefossa !

thanks for the userChrome.css tips ! works for me as well !

Filed a bug (#1954692) for this in Firefox Bugzilla.

+1 to this.

Thanks to @codefossa for the workaround.

The pinned tabs area can be resized in Firefox Developer Edition.

I use both the main Firefox and Developer Edition to split work and personal usage, and it's annoying that it cannot be resized in the main version

I can resize, but it does not keep the size after a window restore. I would like to be able to expand and have it remembered when restoring the window

[codefossa]

What I personally want is for all pinned tabs to always be visible without manually resizing it after adding additional pinned tabs. I think if it's at its maximum height, it should automatically expand when you add another pinned tab. If you have a height set (resized smaller than max) then it should maintain that height.

To have it always be the max height, you can use this userChrome.css style. Do note that this will prevent you from having the ability to resize.

#pinned-tabs-container {
  height: auto !important;
}
