      The way tree style tabs worked after they broke it was never very good. Floorp is what to use if you wanted side tabs on Firefox.

      That said I still went back to Vivaldi after trying to use Floorp because of stupid little ux issues like pinned tabs not being protected from closing, and broken session saving.

          The issue is that because they broke the UI customization that allowed for it all the extensions are just a kludge to add a panel to the side without actually getting rid of the top tabs.

      Yes, but you have to have a custom user.js file or whatever to remove the tabs on top.

            I remember back in the day (FF 4?) I had the window buttons, tabs, back/forward, URL bar, etc all on one row, which was pretty cool. So it was something like this, from left to right:

            1. Firefox menu - was Firefox, but now would be the hamberger menu
            2. back/forward buttons
            3. extension butons
            4. URL bar
            5. tabs

            It worked pretty well. It would be nice to do that again.

                That it is. Firefox updates have broken my CSS several times now, so I am quite happy for them to add side tab officially.

          I have been running vertical tabs for a while now and it’s broken about 3 times, once every few months. Currently, I’ve had no min/maximise/close buttons for about a week because I can’t be bothered to fix it. Far from “one and done”.
