Firefox Tabs
« on: Wednesday 01 November 17 00:08 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to get the Tabs across top instead of along side.... They do move but how??

Use to like Firefox but the latest release with tabs at side is ridiculous. Website pretty useless too.

You'll probably have had their email about a totally new Firefox version coming soon, you can sign up for Beta testing if you want to  ::)  I gave that a miss but did look at what they have in mind.

Why can't these companies leave things alone?  I use a different website to check on my savings and they've just changed their website from a plain simple one, to one full of bells and whistles which obviously the web designers like, but I bet they get a lot of complaints from the actual users.

I use Firefox, and mine is up-to-date (56.0.2).

The tabs run along the top ;D
I've never seen them down the side? Must be an option I have never used?

Yes, have 56.0.2 also, when it updated the tabs were at side.  Part of Firefox's "improvements"

Maybe (for me) it's because I always "Restore Tabs" if I have to close down?

I usually have 6 sessions open!
they contain 6 tabs, 5 tabs, 7 tabs, 5 tabs, 3 tabs and 4 tabs respectively!:o

If I restore, then I get the same sessions and the same tabs.
e.g. all Family History is on one session (Ancestry, FindMyPast, FreeBMD, LancashireBMD, Cornwall OPC, FamilySearch and GenUKI)
RootsChat, BBC, another forum, and 3 Ice Hockey tabs in another session.
And so forth ;D

Maybe....but what if they decide to put them at the side??  ;D That is what they gave me!

I have the up to date version too, but there's another version in the pipeline, Firefox Quantum browser available from 14 November.  See www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/

I have the latest version as well and my tabs all run across the top.  I tried some of their Test Pilot options, most I don't use, the only one I did keep was the Screenshot, it's easier than the way I used to have to do it.

Did you try this?

I also always use the "Restore Previous Session" option, that way all my usual ones open up.
