> they're even mimicking Firefox's scrollable tab-bar since it's such an obvious win over a million super-narrow tabs that you can't possibly identify.

The non-scrollable tabs are what I miss most about Chrome. I know I'm not in a majority there, but I wouldn't call it an obvious win.



about:config has `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth` :) just set it to 0.

Though I firmly believe that about:config is in no way a user-viable option (as useful as it can be, for dev purposes), so I don't intend to imply that means "firefox has that too". It doesn't, it just has a workaround.


Thanks, but I know about the about:config string. Especially with very low values, it had some weird behavior last time I tried it.


yea, doesn't really surprise me. most about:config is pretty hit or miss. out of curiosity tho: was that before the UI overhaul (i.e. have you done it since it became HTML+CSS instead of XUL)?

personally I'm loving Tree Style Tab, so I don't really pay attention to the tabbar any more.


I only started using FF after some bigger release this year, it was too slow for me before.

And good point about Tree Tabs. I've been wanting to try it for a while, might as well do it now :)
