It's nice that there is a preference now!
1. do you prefer the existing behaviour or the new behaviour?
The existing behaviour is really *much* better for me. I have a lot of tabs open and with a value of 50 Firefox is not really usable for me. There is less (!) than one character (!) visible and it's even more worse with the dark tab strip of the Photon default theme and dark favicons (including a few Mozilla websites!) because the favicon is almost invisible. So there is a nearly invisible favicon in a lot of tabs and less than a single character visible in all tabs.
I also know from a few Chrome users that they like the Firefox behaviour much more (they use Chrome for different reasons).
2. if you prefer a value for this pref different than 50 or 100, what is it? Why?
100 is a great value, it works perfect for me. If you want to hear another value from me then I say 99. ;)
I tested different values and even with 60 or 70 it's not really usable for me. I would say 80 as a minimum, but 100 is better.
But as I already said: it's great that there is a preference. I would *not* change the default value (should be 100). But if people prefer another value they can change it now.
