If you like 200px maybe your (our) special case is better served by one of the sidebar-tabs extensions that show usable context plus a larger number of tabs at once rather than changing the default to a value that causes the common user to start scrolling. Better still would be making vertical tabs a selectable option in about:preferences as a common (and unique to Firefox[1]) power-user option rather than making us find and install an add-on.

Even if we don't support "groups" of hidden tabs, the tableau visualization was great for managing overstuffed windows and quickly culling the tabs spawned during some now-complete task or research. -Dan Veditz [1] I'll go out on a limb and guess someone's going to say "Opera did it first". _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
