I tend to keep a rather huge collection of tabs open at any one time (ranging from hundreds to well over a thousand). I found the 50px length to be unusable small.
It was possible to determine which sites were open from their favicon but it was impossible to tell what page that was without more investigation. For me that was a fundamental breakage to the way I use my browser. I changed setting upwards to 70px but still found that 100px (the old default I'm told) gave the best results for my own use case. Making it larger than that didn't add much. My suggestion would be something like this, though I have no idea how it would fit into the current UX design or goals: * Leave the preference to change the tab width within about:config * Revert the default value of the preference to 100 * Provide a slider option to set this within about:preferences that would let people easily fiddle with it without having to poke around in about:config Since not everyone feels comfortable with fiddling around with the settings in about:config it seems sensible to have some way of handling this directly within the normal preferences. A slider seems the most strait forward way of achieving this. I would welcome some feedback and thoughts on that suggestion. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
