I know this is old news by now, but I was not sure how to activate vertical tabs on all of my browsers. It certainly is not obvious, so I wanted to include the instructions here in case anyone else wants to try it out.

Type about:config into the address bar of Firefox. You'll be greeted with a warning that you are accessing advanced settings - click "Accept the Risk and Continue." Search for the boolean preference sidebar.verticalTabs and set to true. That's it! Enjoy your vertical Tabs!

Edit: You may also need to set sidebar.revamp to true if it is not already/automatically set.

They really should have a browser that can have side by side sites so I don't have to keep doing that in the OS. Maybe I should just invent one. I don't know about anyone else but almost all of my workflows at this point are one side reference material and the other side what I'm working on.

Zen browser, a Firefox fork trying to imitate Arc (chromium).

Opera can do this, but it's chromium

There's the Side View extension, perhaps?
