If you tend to have a lot of tabs open in Firefox, there may be times when you can’t see all the tabs you have open, and you need to navigate among your tabs using the tab scrolling arrows.

There are add-ons available for Firefox that will make multiple rows of tabs, such as Tab Utilities. However, this still may not be ideal, as it takes a lot of screen real estate when you have a lot of tabs open.

There’s an easy way to set the width of the tabs, so they still display text or website icons, and, at the same time, allow more tabs to be visible.

To change the width of the tabs, enter “about:config” in the address bar in Firefox and press Enter.
