The New Firefox and Ridiculous Numbers of Tabs

I'm also very impressed with FF's performance on Linux in recent versions. I bumped up the RAM allocated for multiprocess but I never really have more than 20 tabs open. Startup and rendering seems much quicker, and the add-ons seem more open.

I <3 you Firefox. I'm so sad that nobody uses you.

I'm eternally irritated that it doesn't support date inputs. This has been a thorn in my side for years.

Hard to love when the broken extension ecosystem prevents the use of vertical tabs for these scenarios.

Sorry if this is somewhat off-topic but how do you make Firefox' tab bar look like the one in the article (i.e. no rounded edges for the tabs) on MacOS?

This is being actively worked on and coming soon to Firefox.

Tree style tabs work

Firefox has two alternative built-in themes, compact light and compact dark.
