From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Firefox with tree style tabs, with the user CSS that removes tabs and combines bookmarks bar into the title bar.
Away from computer right now but I'll take a screenshot in an hour or so.
And Emacs. :)
Back at my computer now!
OK, here's my screenshot:
So, you can see the tree style tabs (TST) in the sidebar area on the left. I'm using the "photon" theme for TST. with another extension for TST called TST Colored Tabs. If you middle-button-click a link, it's opened in a new tab like usual, but TST also assigns it as a child tab of the page you were viewing. It's incredibly useful for keeping track of where you are and what you're doing. Especially in my DevOps job, I have dozens of tabs open and chaos would reign supreme if I used top-of-window tabs like standard. You can see the bookmarks toolbar has been dragged up into the title bar using the customize toolbar window accessed by right clicking on the title bar.
To accomplish this you need to enable a setting in about:config called
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
, set that to true. Then exit Firefox.Then create a directory called
chrome
in your profile directory, which on Linux is in~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILENAME/
, which you can get from theabout:profiles
page. Inside thechrome
directory, you create a file calleduserChrome.css
and add this stuff to it:And there you go! TST has more tips and configuration details in its Github project: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab and https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/wiki/Code-snippets-for-custom-style-rules#for-userchromecss

FTW.Looking forward to learning how to get tree tabs in FF.
I updated my original comment above yours. I hope my comments/instructions are understandable, please let me know if I wasn't clear on anything!
