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

    There are numerous plugins that can change tab behavior, on first sight i don’t see one that specifically does this but i didnt look to hard.

    I do hope you are aware that browser tabs are really taxing for your ram and will slow down your system. There are multiple extensions that can help you manage that solve this performance impact.

    I actually had a similar problem as you that firefox felt way to different then what i was used to. Ive used brave for a long time which is a minimal chromium with no ads (just disable the crypto thing). You may want to give that a try.

    I eventually started using Brave and Firefox together before moving to just Firefox.
