I switched to Firefox (dev edition) a month or so ago almost completely becuase the TreeStyleTabs extension is better than anything for chrome. I LOVE having nested tabs. It totally prevents me from getting lost when I'm links deep in technical documentation.

it will change a bit though. A rewrite for firefox' new plugin architecture is on the way

  Will the rewrite reduce it to the utterly-useless form of a button that drops down a list of open pages? I've seen that sort of thing attempted a few times by browsers that are idiots about their UI and don't let extensions change it and it's really garbage. Firefox going that route just makes me profoundly sad.

    Before being sad, take a look at already extant add-ons for vertical tabs, which work almost exactly as before, with the exception of tree style nesting. Even that will come soon, as the author of Tree-style tabs is working on a port to WebExt.

    looks like he's able to port everything important: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1224#issuecomment-326467198 https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1224#issuecomm... just hiding the normal tab-bar might require a line of userchrome.css

      I wrote a couple of styles to hide the tab bar and the sidebar header: - Tab bar: https://github.com/Timvde/UserChrome-Tweaks/pull/31 https://github.com/Timvde/UserChrome-Tweaks/pull/31 - Sidebar header: https://github.com/Timvde/UserChrome-Tweaks/pull/32 https://github.com/Timvde/UserChrome-Tweaks/pull/32

        yay, no side-bar header sounds great :) thank you!

        I even managed to move the address bar in to the title bar, but unrelated to my CSS, the browser toolbox now refuses to open...

        don't ask me how, but this works (at least on windows): https://i.imgur.com/dtan6HH.png https://i.imgur.com/dtan6HH.png https://pastebin.com/AcZEgqaP https://pastebin.com/AcZEgqaP

  I am using vertical tabs in nightly (which uses the new plugin architecture). I don't use tree style tabs but I would be surprised if they are not supported.
