Firefox has alternatively had closer-to-curved-rects or boxy tabs for practically its whole lifetime. Chrome went heavy on diagonal-edged tabs early on, and relatively recently they've been undoing that.
they're even mimicking Firefox's scrollable tab-bar since it's such an obvious win over a million super-narrow tabs that you can't possibly identify.

The non-scrollable tabs are what I miss most about Chrome. I know I'm not in a majority there, but I wouldn't call it an obvious win.
- Groxx 8y agoabout:config has `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth` :) just set it to 0. Though I firmly believe that about:config is in no way a user-viable option (as useful as it can be, for dev purposes), so I don't intend to imply that means "firefox has that too". It doesn't, it just has a workaround.
- Semaphor 8y agoThanks, but I know about the about:config string. Especially with very low values, it had some weird behavior last time I tried it.
- Groxx 8y agoyea, doesn't really surprise me. most about:config is pretty hit or miss. out of curiosity tho: was that before the UI overhaul (i.e. have you done it since it became HTML+CSS instead of XUL)? personally I'm loving Tree Style Tab, so I don't really pay attention to the tabbar any more.
- Semaphor 8y agoI only started using FF after some bigger release this year, it was too slow for me before. And good point about Tree Tabs. I've been wanting to try it for a while, might as well do it now :)
