Looks like Firefox just got an official implementation of Vertical Tabs.

I see what you've done. 4/10

What is this spaceship thingie on the panel? New spyware?
>get started with a firefox account
yeah nah fuck that
>>54492836
Without knowing anything about it, I can safely say yes.
>>54492715
As if that'll work in 500 tabs.
>>54492967
As if that anyone except neckbeard retards ever use and need more than 15-20 tabs.
>muh whats the bookmarks
>>54493005
>neckbeard retards
My current research window has 409 tabs, almost all of which are papers, references, and documentation. The organisational overhead of bookmarking that isn't worth it when I can just search through the tab list.
>>54492715
About time, always wanted to get rid of TST because its lags the fuck out of FF
but its too good to let go
now they just need to tweak the shit.
>>54492715
>get started with a firefox account
get fucked on that part, however.
can you post the source for us without accounts?
doesn't the mpl require you to be able to?
>>54493021
How the fuck do you navigate through that? Ever heard of bookmarks?
>>54493021
Is there some reason you don't just save papers?
Shame if something happened to that browser of your...
>>54493021
I call bullshit. Not a chance you've got 409 tabs up.

It runs like ass, actually worse than TST

>It runs like ass, actually worse than TST
TST runs without problems for me
>>54492715
Is that real? (I have reason to belieave it's fake)
Oh pleas let this be real!
Finally the realized that with displays getting wider and wieder every year it's a complete waste of space to have horizontal menu-bars!
>>54492715
Kinda pointless, seeing at this test pilot build only runs x86.

those are some fuckhuge tabs
>>54494817
You can disable the preview

what happened to "if you want it, get an addon"?
>>54494639
thats most retarded thing i ever seen on this board
>>54494929
hold on, let me install the addon, i think i might be able to contest this guy
>>54494639
Just fucking bookmark them dipshit. I want to hurt you for being so dumb.
>>54495065
Relax, I just saved the screenshot, it's not mine.
>>54493005
>cluttering your bookmarks with things you only temporarily need
Just keep the tab open for the week or two you need it, bookmark things you know you'll be coming back for at some point down the road.
>>54494639
>Firefox takes a long time to start up
>>54495052
cant find the specific addon, session manager does not seem to be the same..
>>54493971
I usually save them once I put them into a .bib - until then they float about a bit.
Firefox profile and tabs are backed up.
Saving papers (or using paper managers) ends up becoming more disorganised in my experience, as you typically don't purge what you don't need.
>>54493988
Purged a few since, pic related. I have 5 other windows.
>>54493896
It's moderately organised - e.g., 20 tabs on one topic. If the paper is interesting I remember the title, and can just search for it in the address bar.
>>54495109
Close enough, i guess.
Hopefully it'll make it over to SeaMonkey, its lack of side tabs is one of the things keeping me from switching to it
>>54494639

Won't install even with forced signing disabled in about:config.
What do?
>>54498230
Nvm restart fixed it.
the only reason average number is about 100 is 4gb of ram.
>>54492836
>>54492960
that's "firefox testpilot"
>>54494639
kek, I've only reached 400, this is proper madness
Good. Now I have less worries when firefox deploys the new addon framework.
Chromium and other browsers should implement tree style tabs / vertical tabs too. Fuck chromium for not approving sidebar api
I'll never understand why people actually want vertical tabs.
>>54498786
To compensate for their retarded browsing habits like keeping hundreds of tabs open.
>>54495307
W-wew lad. I am impressed.
>>54498786
When you hve more than three or four tabs open it's very useful. Besides, especially now that widescreen monitors are everywhere, you have a lot more horizontal space to waste than vertical.
>>54499283
>he doesn't use 2 windows side by side with his widescreen
>instead he wastes all that space just to have vertical tabs
>>54499354
I'd rather not have to scroll to see my tabs.
>>54499379
I can fit at least 50 tabs at a time with a 2 row tab bar. That's... enough, and not even much less than with vertical tabs
>>54499415
>I can fit at least 50 tabs at a time with a 2 row tab bar
Good for you.
>That's... enough
No.
>>54499465
Well how many does vertical tabs get you? I'd wager 70. Not worth the trouble, and the inability to have a video play on a window while browsing with another window at the same time
>>54499500
>Well how many does vertical tabs get you? I'd wager 70
I'm using a 1680x1050 monitor so more like 35, but it's still far more than regular tabs, and I'm not going for some retarded double tab bar layout like you described, I don't even think my browser can.
>Not worth the trouble
It definitely is.
>the inability to have a video play on a window while browsing with another window at the same time
I have a monitor dedicated for playing videos.
>>54499595
>I have a monitor dedicated for playing videos.
Well that makes the difference, I don't
More than the vertical tabs, I like the trees and grouping from TST; is something like that possible with this?
Does enabling it and showing the bookmarks panel make the control+f menu go off the bottom of the window for anyone else? Same for the little URL pop-up you get on hovering over a link.
>>54500183
>More than the vertical tabs, I like the trees and grouping from TST; is something like that possible with this?
This. It's the TREE in Tree Style Tabs that make all the difference, not just the vertical arrangement.
the fuck is point of tabs if you're not allowed to use them?
>>54494714
What the fuck is this localization? Can't these devs be bothered to have everything translated?

more like "firefox butthole examinator" am I right? yeah... I'm right and you know it.

This picture gives me terrible anxiety
Please delete this
>>54501472
The addon is for simple things like firefox hello and pocket. Stuff that doesn't require any changes to the internals of firefox and has basically no ability to render it completely unusable.
>>54494878
Their target consumer base is now the people too lazy/stupid to go get their own addons.
As for why they dont just make these new features into automatically packaged addons that can be disabled or removed, they are just being lazy.
I have 7 tabs open, am I cool?
>tfw VerticalTabs is sure to break soon
>>54502098
you never will be
>>54492715
>official implementation of Vertical Tabs.
i would prefer official implementation of backward compatibility of extensions.
which mozilla can't get right since version 3.0
isn't it kind of ironic that you can theoretically run 15 year old ActiveX in IE10 yet you cannot run extension mad for version 46.0 in version 49.0?
>>54493988
i regularly get up 150 tabs while watching porn
>>54495715
at least you don't waste your 16GiB of RAM

Except with Firefox you can easily change it. Chrome can't do shit to it's UI.
>filename
I wish Chrome would officially implement TST or that the vertical tab addons for it weren't such pieces of shit
>>54506275
They scrapped vertical tabs because they felt that the majority wouldn't use them.
