Tree Style Tabs is used by like half the folks working at Mozilla. I doubt that's the reason.

  For some reason I really doubt that statement.

      The other half use tab center?
      • Manishearth 9y ago
        shrug lots of folks don't use tab addons. But yes, Tab Center (Redux) is significantly used too.

          maybe a bit of dogfooding and getting everyone to try tree style tabs would help make Firefox a better browser.

      Then care to explain why we still can't hide the top bar as a setting?
      • ripdog 9y ago
        It's happening (as a WE API) but it's taking a while because they're doing it properly, and a lot of the browser expects the tab bar to be visible.

        Folks are working on it, I've been part of a couple of discussions about this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447 This comment kinda sums up why it's a hard problem https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447#c116 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447#c116 There's a major problem with addons doing stuff the users don't want, and the tab strip is a critical portion of the user interface so "just let them hide it" has problems with abuse. So it needs to be something that can still be autoreviewed, and it needs to be something that gives clear indications to the user as to what is going on.
