So, with google being who they are wanting to create a more and more hostile environment using chrome is increasingly becoming more meh.

But no other browser really has the ok feel to it. And certain let’s call it quirks to others make them feel just meh and annoying to use because of how used i am to chrome, and I’ve tried.

And I was hoping that the one with Firefox, could be changed, or “fixed.”

Feel free to call it weird but when you’re used to something for more than a decade it’s not easy to change, and I’ve tried FF on occasion, but this just makes me unable to stick.

Open tabs. I want to see them all, always. I want to be able to open and open and open, and all that happens, is like in chrome, (and now edge I believe? I’ve not seen it behave like FF) is that it just squeezes the tabs thinner and thinner, and, in the end, you can barely click them.

the behavior in FF seems to open a certain amount, then start pushing them “off screen” accessible through ‘drop down’, you know what I mean.

simply put, how can I make Firefox, not do that, and just let me open freely, create an awful mess that probably is harder to navigate?

It all probably sounds very counterintuitive but as mentioned after 10+ years of that being a feature I really do love, being unable to find that in settings or any other way seemingly to do this, is it possible for FF to do this at all somehow?

I’ve tried googling and I only seem to find people wanting the opposite, which is of course understandable but, people are different :P

    What you want is ridiculous and counter-productive, and you should feel bad for even desiring such nonsense.

    Having said that - this appears to suggest you’re not alone in your self-harming endeavours and proposes editing userChrome.css to achieve it. Technically it is setting a min width to a tab, but <1px would be impossible to display and click on anyway.
