Reclaim Vertical UI Space by Moving Your Tabs to the Side in Firefox
- by Asian Angel
Are you looking for a way to move your tabs to the side in Firefox and gain access to more vertical UI space? The Vertical Tabs extension for Firefox lets you accomplish both in a matter of moments.
As soon as you install the extension and restart Firefox the Tab Bar will be automatically converted into a shiny new Vertical Tabs Sidebar. All that you have to do is start enjoying the extra vertical UI space.
Some things to keep in mind when using the extension are:
You can easily adjust the width of the sidebar to suit your needs using the mouse (very nice!)
The Firefox Menu Button, Panorama Button, and Tab Control controls move to the bottom of the sidebar (see screenshot above)
You can group tabs if needed or desired
There is no option available to move the sidebar to the right side of the browser at the moment
The use of Personas themes (or other themes) may affect how the text for the tabs will look (i.e. a slightly fuzzy shadow effect when not selected as seen in the screenshot above)
Note: Works with Firefox 4.0b7 – 4.0.*
