Re: Tree Style Tabs
#82I use TST extensively to manage hundreds of tabs, and it is a real joy. FWIW, these are the customizations that made TST much more usable for me: 1) Very importantly, hide the horizontal tab bar. You get some vertical screen space back, and you aren't distracted by two ways of showing the same tabs. You'll have to edit your userChrome.css (see e.g. http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&pri... for d…
Another useful tweak is to turn on the option that forces all popups into tabs rather than new windows. This is an option in FireFox itself but it complements TST quite nicely, because it means that the popup's tab appears underneath it's parent's tab in the tree. Popping up in a separate window with no tab at all is pretty much the opposite of that!
This is a nice option to turn on anyway. IMO there is no reason why a webpage should ever be able to open another window on my computer. For me, this is the other killer feature in FireFox. This also stops pages being able to resize/move windows (because that only works in popup windows), which stops the worse aspect of "the annoying site" which came up recently on Hacker News.
To change the setting: in about:config change browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction to 0. Source: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1066799

#83I don’t understand how people browse the web without this extension. That’s the number one reason chrome is not usable for power users. I’m also wondering why this is not natively supported by both firefox and chrome.
and I don't understand how people have more than about 10 tabs and stay sane. Do you people like... not use bookmarks at all? Heck, most of the sites I visit on anything like a regular basis I only need to type in the first letter or two and they auto-complete.
Bookmarks are not a good UX. They're slow to load, unreliable (link rot), and a chore to keep organized.
Bookmarks are an improvement over writing addresses down on paper or copying and pasting into a text file. That's about it.

I created a userChrome.css file (including the aforementioned snippets + the namespace line on top) and put it into the folder that Firefox tells me is my profile folder - still see the tabs on top though (Mac OS Mojave - FF - Quantum) - any ideas what could be the issue? I did restart firefox.

It needs to go into the "chrome" subdirectory of your profile directory. Usually this doesn't exist so you'll have to create it yourself.

I don't know how people live with the mental burden and clutter of dozens of tabs of things they'll (if they were honest with themselves) never get around to reading. It's like watching one of those TV shows about hoarding, where people live in a rabbit warren of junk they claim they'll use one day.
Certainly alarming to see. Mine build up, I keep them for a few weeks, bookmark a few, and burn the lot periodically - which suggests I shouldn't have bothered with them in the first place.
My bookmarks are dumped in a large pile to be one day sorted out. I have hundreds of them. And rather annoyingly are there now with forgotten context. I can't even access the creation dates on Chrome/ium unless I export and data wrangle.
I have decided I'm just going to write a system where I paste the address/or use a bookmarklet, and insist on small text or context and/or the ability to tag and group. But it must be a simple and cross-browser/system.
The most annoying thing about bookmark managers is presentation.

thanks that helped! the RYG buttons of Mac now overlap with back reload etc - but I guess I can tweak the CSS to make that fit.
Thanks again!

It's part of their new philosophy not to make anything configurable or anything "advanced" easy, unless you're jumping through some hoops. I still can't get over the fact that they removed the ability to view individual cookies and their values from the browser.
Right click, press q, click storage/cookies.. what am I missing here?
?
access dev tools (on Linux†) using: Ctrl+Shift+i then navigate to: storage > cookies
† no idea what it is on a Mac

I had an issue with the coloration on top of that, so I elected to turn the regular system title bar back on. That perfected it for me.

#90Used it before and it was slow and buggy. I found a better way to manage open tabs: stash them into bookmark stacks using simpler extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-stash
I use OneTab for Chrome, which is similar. If I didn't have that I'd probably switch to FF, but OneTab is good enough for my browsing habits.
Plus one for OneTab on Chrome. I also like the "Share as WebPage" feature (example [1]), which I end up using to share links with myself, in different devices, most of the time :-)
