I definitely prefer Firefox as it is now to that.
I'll note that not everyone has hundreds of tabs open ;) I prefer my tabs on the top as I never have more then 4 and even then I feel it's too many.
By the way, not sure if you did this intentionally, but through the magic of federation, you also posted this to the Firefox community on Lemmy: https://lemmy.ml/post/3562992
That's why some of the comments are interpreting this post a lot less like you're just expressing a personal opinion, but rather like you're saying this is the one and only truth...
@Ephera I just want to share my thought, and definitely this is not the only solution, this worked for me doesn't mean it will for all.
I am just suggesting this to be one of the possible consideration.
Hi there! Your text contains links to other Lemmy communities, here are correct links for Lemmy users: !librewolf@lemmy.ml

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
It doesn’t look half-bad but i would rather have roughly the same firefox interface on every OS than have it customized for gnome as it appears here.
Take a look at Floorp, it's a little rough around the edges but has vertical tabs plus a lot of other nice features. Feels a lot like Vivaldi but Firefox-based instead of Chromium-based.
tried it, didn't liked it.
That's too bad, I just started using it a few days ago and I love it. Covers most of the customization I want to do to Firefox that's kind of a pain like vertical tabs, alternate themes, reopen last closed tab button, etc etc. Out of curiosity, what do you prefer about other browsers/forks? Floorp seems like it covers more of the changes you've made in the screenshot than any other I know of, is there another one with more customization options?
@CloverSi to be honest, there is no significant improvement or difference between most of the firefox derivative and firefox iteself, they dont bring anything new/different to table other than implement uere.js by default.
which i can just copy past from github.
And the floorps has just copied all the css files from https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/ and implemented it in toggle, which anyone can reproduce and there was some flaws. something like "Arc Browser" or "SigmaOS browser" which are macos only
Your original post was asking why no Firefox forks implement that ui, but now you're saying there's no point when you can make those changes yourself...
I'm not sure if I unterstand you correctly, but Vivaldi can be configured to have tabs on any side, and (sorta-nested) tab groups if you're so inclined. It's based on Chromium though.
@Radiant_sir_radiant I tried it for a week, I like it but its not @firefox (does it make sense, definitely not)
To be honest its very hard to justify why @firefox "only" , cant see myself using anything other than firefox based and cant reason why this is case.
Hey, "I'm happy with it" is as good a justification as any. 🙂
It does make it a challenge though. I don't know of any Firefox-based browser that does that. But then again, I'm by no means well-informed there. Maybe somebody will build one?
I dont think it should be default. Personally I think tabs on right click might even be smarter since I would not have to move the mouse so far. Yes, I don't horde tabs. I never understood how to handle tabs without the title. So I never have more than 10 tabs.
I have set up something pretty similar to yours in windows, and people have actually complemented me on it when I share my screen. That being said, I think it would be a pretty intimidating interface for non-power users.
@dantheclamman Yeah i totally forget about non-power user, I am happy with result and want to share.
