Got this notification when I opened Chrome when coming back to my desk after lunch.

Not OP but I really dislike the way Firefox handles multiple tabs. When there are too many tabs, Chrome would shrink the tabs to icon size, but Firefox insists on keep a weird minimum tab size and make you scroll the tabs awkwardly.

I stopped using Firefox for a long time because of that, until I discovered Sidebery (vertical tabs).

Oh yea, that makes sense. The Chrome ones get super super small I think right? Has been a very long time since I last used it. I personally like it the was FF does it because I can more easily tell what tab is what, but I can totally see how it you would dislike that.

Also good to know something like Sidebery exist.

Thanks for your answer :)

Besides just jumping ship to veritcal tabs, I'd be shocked if there wasn't a user .css customization, settings option, or other small extension to get that in Firefox.
