I find it quite amusing how the new web extensions are unable to block this in comparison to the "legacy" ones. https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issue

  >when they are so weak compared to the xul ones To many, I suspect that is the prime intent.

    So far, the only difference I have noticed is that some useful add-ons that made Firefox significantly more attractive than some other browsers no longer work. The single biggest loss for me personally has been the ones that would save unsubmitted form content in case of crashes, accidental window/tab closure, etc. When I checked recently, there no longer appeared to be any add-on available that provided this valuable functionality.

      Also Tree-Style-Tabs is no longer supported. TST arranges the browser tabs in a vertical hierarchy, which has the dual benefit of logically arranging the tabs themselves and providing more vertical space (important on a 16:9 aspect ratio monitor).

        There are sidebar tab WebExtensions, including one rudimentary one which supports tree indentation. I even contributed to one this morning that is quite attractive, called Tab Center Redux.

        FYI, there's another one called Tab Tree that works reasonably similarly. The original TST seemed not to be an option some time ago, but the alternative seems OK.
