Om my system ( retina macbook pro ) 70 is starting to look like a

I think 70 is better than 50, but I noticed that if a foreground tab
starts to play audio and we need to show the audio icon alongside the
tab close icon, the 70px width is actually not enough and the tab pushes
its width out a bit! I think we need to consider a minimum of 75px instead.
But still I think this is a serious degradation for existing users who
have many tabs in terms of the readability of the titles, but we can
mitigate it by perhaps reducing the padding. For example, see this
screenshot:
https://ehsanakhgari.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/tabminwidth-narrowpaddings.png
It shows at above browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 100 and below
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 75 with the paddings in each tab reduced by
13 pixels. There is very little reduction to the amount of space
available for the tab title if we do something like this, I think...
Cheers,

How I have been testing this:
* change the value to a specific number, say 70
* open enough tabs so that overflow triggers, then close two tabs,
then open a tab ( we retain overflow until 2 tabs have been closed! )
* count the number of tabs opened
* open chrome and open that number of tabs
* compare the utility of each browser

I prefer being able to see a minimum part of the title, because I very
often have multiple tabs open on the same page (many bugzilla, many
searchfox, many crash-stats) and now I cannot distinguish them at all.
But at the same time, I never liked much the scrolling behavior, at a
point that when my tabs start scrolling, I begin a cleaning taks to
close some of them.
Looks like I'm unhappy in both cases, sorry. If I'd really have to
pick, I'd probably would like to see the first 10 chars of the title.
